"And no, you cannot play everything with economy, try 2nps patterns like pentatonic runs and you'll realize." I'd say the picking pattern for that would simply be the same for alternate and economy picking. And since there are virtuosos who use alternate picking, and virtuosos who use economy picking, I'd think it's more of a choice, or taste, than anything else. "fast 16th triplets licks you would realize that there is probably no human being that could posibly execute that with economy picking" As economy picking has less wasted motion, shouldn't it, theoretically, be possible to play faster using economy picking than alternate picking? Then again, I think that just comes down to practice |

Then again, I think that just comes down to practice I don't know what level you are but I am pretty sure that no person can economy pick this in 160bpm, 16th triplets
Even is someone is able to do it I think that's ridiculous to waste time practicing like that when AP is much easier and sounds better in these situations -------------------- Check out my <a href="https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/instructor/Emir-Hot" target="_blank">Instructor profile</a>

You can sweep between B and E strings once but then you'll get stuck by downstroke on 3rd note on high E. That's born for alternate. So true Muris. One thing I remember you saying when I was debating about sticking with economy or working on alternate picking was you said that with economy it was "show me the lick".....you have to "design' your licks to work with economy. With alternate I think if you break down the mechanics and get those different pick strokes that occur when changing strings down that alternate is a much better technique. I definitely didn't think this until you really started helping me with my AP. Thanks for that Muris.......\m/\m/ Yeah, economy most often works with "prepared" licks and with any kind of uneven notes per string runs, cheers. -------------------- Youtube

If you hammer on notes on the 1st string then in theory you could play it with economy but still that's nonsense to me -------------------- Check out my <a href="https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/instructor/Emir-Hot" target="_blank">Instructor profile</a>
