Yes, I'm trying to get my alternate picking going, but I have the unforunate habit of economy picking
everything Any tips on how to get into the good habit
of alternate picking faster. I've been saying out loud down, up, down, up etc... everytime I change strings for three note per string runs.
so I do this....
e---------------------------------------------------------------12-14-15--------------------------
B---------------------------------------------------12-13-15--------------------------------------
G---------------------------------------12-14-16--------------------------------------------------
D---------------------------12-14-16--------------------------------------------------------------
A----------------12-14-15-------------------------------------------------------------------------
E-----12-14-15-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I say Down......up..........down........up.............down........up
And reverse for descending patterns.
Is this a good way of getting into the habit of alt picking?
Edit
I just realised how much of an economy picker I am
When I do three notes per string runs I go down up down (change strings) down up down all the way up!!!! AHHH!!!! It didn't have anything to do with what pick stroke I started with, it was my economy picking that made me suck at descending runs!!! I'm gonna freak out
Cuz I guess it's something I've done forever, and now I can't play anything without thinking "I'm economy picking this when I should be alt picking it!" and getting EXTREMELY discouraged by it!
Now all my practice sessions will be dedicated solely on getting rid of my economy picking habit!!
I would love anybody that can give me some tips...
