Anyone else have these problems while raking?

[Tupac]

I can't possible rake unless it comes back into my thumb. IE, raking from G string to D, I have to rest my thumb on A to catch my finger. Secondly, my fingers have to be slightly angled sidewise, fingers pointing towards the direction of the headstock. And thirdly, when doing long rakes that go across 3 or more strings (IE, Mellowship Slinky in B Major), my thumb starts floating Cliff Burton style instead of just switching to the pickup. Are these problems normal, and if needed how do I fix them?

Oh my... You might want to work on that timing a bit. I see you do the same thing as me with the thumb. Mellowship Slinky is a cool song, keep it up.

Timing issue ?

And I use floating thumb ... my thumb move all around with the whole hand.

I know it is fast and my fingers doesn't move a lot but I didn't rake.

You're not alternating fingers on that faster part. Sure looks like a rake to me
