I donīt mind the grammar too much since english isnīt my mother tongue.
But still I think best way to learn fast parts is to play them over and over again slowly to clean up the technique.
Other thing you might try out is to adjust your EQ (if you have one) and cut off low end a bit and boost lowmids and mids. As youīre playing DM I assume that U use dropped tunings as well.
Third thing coming to my mind is what kind of speaker U use.
Back in days when I used to play DM I used SWRīs Henry the 8x8" cabinet which was brilliant cause the response in that cab is extremely quick and it cuts thru like theres no tomorrow.
Large elements used alone in that kind of music might make it a bit muddy.
Fourth thing is to adjust the action of your strings. Also using thicker strings might help you a bit.
Fifth thing is using compressor. I find it very handy when playing fingerstyle with metalbands, though otherwise I donīt use it at all.
Dont know does this help at all, but that kind of stuff came to my mind.
