This is just a theory.
This is a rough estimate. Objects fall at about 4.9 centimeters per second. This is about 2 inches (1.92913 to be exact) per second. If you start your down stroke about 1/4 inch above the string, it will take about 1/8 of a second to hit the string, or 240 bpm, which is the maximum bpm for the most relaxed down stroke, just to reach the string. This does not factor in passing through the sting and coming back up. Without doing the math, I think you can determine that, in order to play at 300 bpm, a fully relaxed wrist that uses only gravity is not possible, but muscles must be used.

Gravity on the moon is about 1/6 of earth so they can only play ballads up there.
In fact Mike was only able to get halfway through Claire De Lune before Neil and Buzz had to return to the command module.
Man, talk about hitting hard with a first post! Welcome, and I like the #nerdfest.
Could be somebody directed AI to create a nerdy fact about guitar picking.
It's seriously something I was thinking about.
Apparently people in Australia have the best upstrokes.
I have another account, but was unable to log in, so I created a knew one. Went with a alias for fun.
I stand corrected 😄
