I suggest this
e|--------------8(up)------------------------------------ B|---------10(down)--10(up)---------11(down/up)----------- G|------8(down)-------------8(down)--------------------- D|--10(down)------------------------------------------- A|-------------------------------------------------------- E|-------------------------------------------------------- As a general rule, you can use the same stroke for a group of notes until you see a change of direction. So, the last note will be down or up depending on what occours next. I made a lesson about this topic.

You should find what suits best for you, although Jerry's advice is very useful. You can play them with alternate picking or with the "ascending and descending" style. Whatever works best for you

Is this technique also better for speed? Will this be the best way to play high speed picked areggio's? |

It all depends what comes next. If the tempo of the song is slow, I suggest all alternat picking.
Generally I agree with Jerry Acordiano, perfect! -------------------- |

You can use whatever feels comfortable mate. I would use all alternate there.

Yes, at least for me and most people it works good. -------------------- ::: Main Gear ::: Guitars: Washburn N4 Vintage | Washburn N2 | Washburn WI67Pro | Washburn WG-587 | Washburn EA20B Amps: Laney GH50L (head) | Laney GS410 & GS212IE (cabinets) | Rocktron PROGAP Ultra (rack preamp) | Rocktron Velocity 150 (power amp) | Marshall VS230 (combo) FXs: Rocktron Intellifex + custom pedalboard (check my video demo) Other: Shredneck | Intellitouch PT10 tuner Picks: Esseti Picks Software & Recording Gear: Cubase 4 | Overloud TH1 | Mackie Onyx 400F | EZdrummer | Korg Pandora PX4D ------------------------------------------------------- myspace.com/jerryarcidiacono Check out my video lessons and instructor board! |
