Ulf's picking technique

[charlieparker]

For all you circular picking fans, Ulf is a monster! Never seen a guy circle pick that cleanly!

From what I've seen his motion is predominantly wrist? Could you post a video of him circular picking please.

Obviously amazing player. I think he does double-escape too.

This was an excerpt from guitar night. Is that not circle picking? Didn't look like wrist to me.

Yeah you're right. I think he can probably do both kinds of motion...

I have to find the other timestamp but there were some passages where he was absolutely smoking using that technique.

Edit: found this.

Ulf’s a beast! Few players could follow Brecker, and Ulf is one of them.

Ulf's right hand reminds me of Jostein's.

? I just meant his motion is sort of a blend of wrist and thumb-finger, either one of which may be more pronounced according to what exactly he happens to be picking.
