- Play the notes of the ‘anything’ as hard as humanly possible. (This is key.) (And that’s it!)
Okay, does that mean play the notes as hard as humanly possible with A) the FRETTING hand, or B) with the PICKING hand, or C) with BOTH hands?

"Long story short, out of curiosity, I tried to play them fast and I ended up playing them at a hyper-blazing 200 bpm-ish type of speed. Yes, this is an authentic true story. No embellishments."
The bpm speed specification is standardized for playing of eighth notes.
Eighths at 200bpm is less than 7 notes per second; not "hyper-blazing".

I bought in to this method, because over the years most of the speed building stuff out there didn’t work for me.

Que?? Last time I checked I thought this was a Jazz Guitar site. Any obsession with "hyper blazing" surely belongs on Metal guitar forums? Playing at brisk tempos for a Jazz player is about thinking fast, hearing fast and reacting fast (perhaps Martino's more important secret?). Learn to do that and the picking speed (which is by far the easiest technical aspect) will follow naturally. Reciting the alphabet at record speed does not make you the next Shakespeare.
Well, those are my thoughts, feel free to disagree...
