Ive been using Economy picking for a while now because i find it more efficient to use when skipping strings and for most playing in general but now my guitar instructor at home is telling me i should be picking always alternate. For those who do not know alternate is just always alternating Up Down Up Down (string skip) Up Down. While Economy would be Down Up Down (string Skip) Down Up. What should i be doing?

If you look at it from this angle - you can play everything with alternate picking! its fast, clean and you can be accurate with it! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

But there are some licks really hard to play with alternate and that's when economy enters the scene... You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
