If you mean that when you play 3 notes per string you play D U D and o the next string you do D U D again this is not AP. When you play AP it shoud strict U D U D etc. Try corecting this right away so you are doing it right

That is actually economy picking
and you use it only for ascending lines if I got you right. Now,if you're goal is pure alternate then you might call it a cheating. But if you're goal is to play certain lick and you've found economy picking like the best way to do it then it's not cheating at all, you did it as you did. Just watch out for your goals,that's all.

Yeah,that kind of vibrato is called horizontal one
and doesn't work with bends as you said, so try to incorporate vertical vibrato in your playing as well. Same with your picking,both are good,alternate and economy, learn them both and be sure to realize when you're using which one, otherwise it's kind a playing on blind.

It is always good to practice economy and alternate picking both at the same time Besip man, so try to do the same exercise now ascending and do it AP, and start with upstroke and downstroke as well. This way you will cover all the combinations of picking motions when transferring strings and this is very important for future learning. Everything will be a lot easier then in a long run.

QUOTE (besip @ Aug 15 2008, 06:27 PM)  HI all after few month of training alternate picking i'm find this when i'm play 3 note per string and my 1 picking note start with downstroke..so thats like downstroke upstroke downstroke but when i'm skiping to nex Higer string i'm strat again with downstroke{my fingers just looking for shortes distance} when i'm go to the lower string everythink is ok  until time when i'm be play 1 note by upstroke and i'm be going to lower string..my fingers is aslo looking for shortes way it's a cheat?? it's a still alternate picking??? or some kind of hybrid economy alternate?? do i'm try to avoid that???or not?? it's there some disadvantage playing like that?? or advantage??? Thank you  Hi Besip, this is type of picking is economy, not alternate, it gives you a different sound, but also the ability to play other licks at blazing speed. Have you ever seen Frank Gambale, he is the true master of this tecnique, and it is not easy to get it to his level. If you want to do alternate, practice it, but don't walk away from this, if you are already developing it keep doing it. That is my advice Check out thisFrank Gambale video on this tecnique http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=r-QU4JTx80s Then check how he amazingly combines this tecnique with arpeggios, and sweeps in this song, it starts slow but around minute 2:48 he starts demostrating his shredding abilities http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=579UZXOpeUw |

Not only the sound, but the actual overall effectiveness of your playing will be a lot better covered with both AP and EP.
