Sheryl Bailey dug around in her memories trunk and shares a picking dynamic lesson she received from Emily years ago. Sheryl credits this particular lesson as being one of the studies that has shaped the way she plays guitar the most. She stresses how it improves the control of the accent in the phrase and this is what really helps you develop a strong swing feel. 
In summary she says that by concentrating more on where the accent is in the phrase – even more than what the note is – that’s the thing that gives your playing the push and the drive, and will also help develop a relaxed right hand with that light “bounce” (how the pick hits the string) you need to play uptempo or double-time phrases.
