"Mistakes" that aren't mistakes — swiping and displacement

"Good" swiping sounds good because the pick changes its path to graze the top of the swiped string instead of slamming through it. Displacement converts an "odds" phrase like a scale into an "evens" phrase — which easier for many alternate picking motions — by moving a pickstroke from one string to another and hiding the move with legato. Swiping and displacement are usually done subconsciously. (I didn't even realize I was doing displacement on the gain example here until I watched it later.) But they are not mistakes, because when you film them, they are consistent and serve a clear mechanical purpose. So I guarantee you there is a lot of displacement out there that players don't realize they are doing because it feels and sounds smooth. So I strongly encourage everyone not to get too hung up on what you see with your brand new Magnets, and instead doing whatever sounds good and is easy!
