i am learning a song by Megadeth called Rust in peace Polaris and it is going pretty well till the chorus part where he plays D, A, D, A strings very fast and i am having big troubles there. I practice the chorus for a week already and i see very little progress (maybe no progress). With the left hand I can go through notes fast enough, but with the right hand I have issues, i cant pick that fast, i dont understand how should pick the strings, could somebody please explain to me how I can practice so I will play faster. If you know a good video that explains it well, please share)

about six minutes in to this video gets to a very detailed explanation of the mechanics.
he’s done the most research in to the subject I know of
Get a phone camera mount with a suction cup that you can place on the body of the guitar. Mous do some ones that work. Get the camera a few inches from your picking hand and record exactly what is going on in HD slow motion then watch where it’s going wrong and the pick is missing the target.
I then apply Troy’s methodology around pick escape to problem solve.
I’ve completely levelled up my picking technique this way. Very nerdy, but I suppose lock down has its benefits. I’ve saved lots of time from future practice. Although now the issue is my fretting hand as that’s the limiting factor
Their band the rhythm future quartet are great to cook to
