This might be more of a Troy Grady thing, but dear lord would ya please teach us how to develop the MOP down stroke speed! Art of Guitar does a great job talking about sort of bouncing the pick in small movements - that got me from about 165bpm to 185bpm. But MOP is at like 200-210 bpm. What?! And why is it that a downpicked lick that involves the low E with stabbed notes on the A is somehow easier than just straight downpicking the low E?? I want more better downpicking!

I would 100% buy an "IT'S JUST B" t-shirt in the Metallica font with Ben holding that coffee cup.
