Stephane Lucarelli10th October 2009Cool lesson David!
birthmark10th October 2009thanks Dave. working on this.
Alexiaden9310th October 2009Speed runs combined with fretboard knowledge, just what I need !

David Wallimann10th October 2009Thanks everyone!
The main video needs some shortening at the end..
I'll get that fixed!
vampire1810th October 2009wow, you have a very smooth tone, you cant tell when are alternating on one string or sweeping to the other, very impressive
Zsolt Galambos10th October 2009This is the only technique for me that I didn't master, so I think I'll learn it, too

Emir Hot15th October 2009Great lesson David. I am not good with economy but it is of course a bonus if you know both
Marcus Siepen20th October 2009great, very useful and important lesson. Many people focus only on alternate picking, but in my opinion it is important to be able to play both versions, alternate AND economy picking, it just gives you much more options
Ivan Milenkovic31st October 2009Excellent exercises man, great job
In today's lesson, we'll discuss economy picking / sweep picking which is a technique that will allow you to reach very fast speeds with minimal right hand movement. The principle of sweep picking is simple: anytime you need to play two consecutive strings, use the same picking direction. If you play an alternate picking run but "break" the alternate pattern when playing two consecutive strings (and use sweep picking) then you get a technique called economy picking.
We'll be using all the seven modes extracted from the key of G Major. In order to make these scales sweepable, we'll use some three notes per string fingerings. Make sure to memorize all the scale patterns before playing this exercise. Start with a slow tempo making sure everything is very clean...
Practice well!
