How To Play This Correctly..., because what I am doing does not work Options

[Ctodd]

Hi Lian,

I have a question about Pavel's Galloping lesson, and since he's not here, I figured you might be the next best person to help me out with this.

here is part of the tab and the lesson is HERE

my problem is that I have been practicing this for quite some time, and I have not encountered any problems until now..

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...

Thanks!
