Excellent exercises man, great job
great, 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
Great lesson David. I am not good with economy but it is of course a bonus if you know both
cool! Gambale thing
Thanks guys!
Nice excercices and patterns.
Great exercises David! Frank Gambale plays everything with this technique.
New look...and great lesson
Good work David!
Good workout David!
Great technique David and a very useful lesson!!
Nice lesson David! Very useful!
This is the only technique for me that I didn't master, so I think I'll learn it, too
wow, you have a very smooth tone, you cant tell when are alternating on one string or sweeping to the other, very impressive
Thanks everyone!
The main video needs some shortening at the end..
I'll get that fixed!
Great lesson David!
Speed runs combined with fretboard knowledge, just what I need ! Awesome lesson and explanation, David !
thanks Dave. working on this.
Cool lesson David!
Nice one David! For now, I'll stick to AP a bit more, but maybe later to gather some monster speeds
Very useful
Book marked
Great lesson David!
But why does the video last 53 seconds while the lesson only lasts 38 seconds?
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!
