The lesson says to use 100% alternate picking, and up until now I THOUGHT thats what I was doing like this GALLOPING RHYTHM ------0----0--0--0----0--0--0----0--0--0----0--0--0----0--0 <------Open Low E String ------U----D-U--D----U--D--U---D--U-D----U--D-U----D--U <-----Pick Stroke This worked well for quite some time until I got up into the 100 BPM area, and I am starting to find myself on the wrong side of the string when I need to play the accented (unmuted) notes throughout the passage... now with my current picking technique I wind up on the right side of the string for some notes, but not so for others. Basically I would like to ask how would YOU play this lesson, and what would your right hand be doing as far as upstroke/downstroke? If you need to me clarify my problem further I can...

If you look at the slow videos, Pavel's playing it like this: D-DUD-DUD-DUD-DU I think that what he means with 100% alternate picking is that you count the rests also. The rests would be upstrokes then. I hope you understood...otherwise I'm sure Lian will help you more Edit: hehe, you were a few seconds ahead of me Lian You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

( I only have one guitar ) thanks! -Chris You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
