Hey everyone, I´m new to this forum and this is my very first post. Maybe my below questions have been answered already somewhere in the forum but when I did a search I couldn´t find the answers I´m looking for. I have a what I think a very specific question about alternate picking. I´ll try to keep this short, but I´m afraid it might rather get long. My questions concern three note per string patterns and alternae picking in general. I´ll use tabulature to illustrate my problems. Here we go, starting with a three note per string-pattern: u d (u) d u (d) u d (u) d u (d) E--15-14-12----------------/---15-14-12-------------- B--------------15-14-12----/---------------15-14-12-- So here we have a three note per string pattern which is beeing played repeatedly, starting with an upstroke, all alternate picking. I used paranthesis to exaggerate my problem parts. My question regarding this lick now is: When the right hand changes from the high e string to the lower b string with an upstroke, do you ONLY hit the e string and move the pick in a way that it doesn´t hit the b string, or do you hit BOTH the e string AND the b string and mute the be string with the index finger of the left hand, so that it doesn´t ring? This is the same lick, but this time starting with a downstroke, again I emphasised the problem part: d u d u d (u) (d) u d u d (u) E--15-14-12----------------/---15-14-12-------------- B--------------15-14-12----/---------------15-14-12-- This time the question is: After you hit the last note on the b string, do you do some extra move to avoid hitting the b string again when doing the upward movement, or do you hit both the b string and the e string, muting the b string with the index finger of the left hand? I guess you understand my problem so I won´t post examples considering five note per string patterns cause it´s basically the same. Sorry that this post got rather long, but I think it covers a very important point regarding alternate picking. Best regards, Tobi I´m sorry that the right hand description got messed up, maybe someone can fix it for me? Hi! Well usually 3 note per string patterns use for economy picking sometimes alternative! When you are switching strings you don't hit B string What you need to do is coordinate your hands together so you won't have this problem again! If you want you can sign up for my mentoring program and I will guide you through!!! Here is the link https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=43564 -------------------- |
