I have never before thought about the way I pick, and thought that what I did was alternative.
And a few days ago I sat down and looked at what I did. Of course it was Economy picking.

But I don't see why you would want to play Alternative picking, as Economy let's you move faster between the strings.

So is there a reason to why you would want to play Alternative, and what is good about it?

And same question about Economy Picking.

Need some answers. smile.gif

just wanted to add that i had the exact same problem and i think the biggest advantages of alterante are predictabilty and even tone on every stroke. really 90% of the time alternate is the way to go, thogh i gotta say sometimes when i have to do and outside change on a very fast lick i do cheat and do like a 2 string sweep if it helps some of the following to be easier or inside strokes

I personally think economy comes in most handy when using it in conjunction with legato.......


Depends of a player Monte, take Frank Gambale per example,
he's using economy without any hammer-ons or pull-offs most often.
Some other guys use it combined with legato, true. smile.gif
