Anyone read that yet?
And I can't see why this wouldn't work with the directional picking (things have many names ) described in the article I've linked to. ( http://tomhess.net/Articles/AlternateVsDir...nalPicking.aspx ) Aside from that, please explain why "alternate sounds better"?? |

( http://tomhess.net/Articles/AlternateVsDir...nalPicking.aspx ) Aside from that, please explain why "alternate sounds better"?? It wouldn't work because every time you change strings on a two string lick like that you are changing direction. To change the direction your pick is moving.....from a higher string to a lower string or vice versa.....you need an EVEN number of notes on the string so you can "sweep" it. If you start that lick on an upstroke then when you are ready to change strings your pick will be moving up and you want it to be moving down......if you start on a down stroke your pick will be going in the right direction to sweep to the E string. So you will start picking the E string with a downstroke and when you are ready to move back to the B string your pick will be going down instead of up......to change directions you need an even number of notes on the string. This is why economy picking licks need to be "planned" out for the most part. Unless you are Frank Gambale and it is just so ingrained in your muscle memory that you don't have to think about it anymore. But he just has a billion stock licks that he combines I would imagine. Economy picking fits a specific mathmatical formula.......Odd number of notes on a string to keep your pick going in the same direction and an even number to change your picking direction.

This is how I have picked everything so far, I thought it was economy but I'm just another noob then. It was economy but also alternate as well, take a look how you switch back to B string after high E, you end with downstroke on high E and then you use upstroke for B, that's VERY outside for picking and you would never get into same situation if you used straight alternate picking, you would end with an upstroke on high E string and B string is in the same direction, up. -------------------- Youtube

So what do you call it then? Mix of both I would say, you used 2 techniques to execute that very 3nps pattern. But yeah, you made it VERY difficult for you by using economy (sweep) right from the start, that putted you in outside picking. -------------------- Youtube
