Hello,
at the moment, I am learning Jawbreaker by Judas Priest, it does not sound very hard and seems to be a good song for beginners. However, as I tried to play it, I encounterd a problem. Normally, I play those rhytm pattern with downstrokes only, but in this song I need to play it at ~200bpm which is (for me) pretty fast for downstrokes only. As I tried to do it with alternate picking, I could not find a good picking pattern. How would you play this? only downstrokes, strict alternate picking, or an other picking pattern? thanks for your help, CODE E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E |---------------------------|--------------------------| |---------------------------|--------------------------| |*--7--------7--------------|--7--------7--------------| |*--7--------7--------------|--7--------7--------------| |------5--5-----5--5--5--5--|-----5--5-----5--5--5--5--| |---------------------------|--------------------------| E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E --------------------------|--------------------------| --------------------------|--------------------------| --3--------3--------------|--3--------3--------------| --3--------3--------------|--3--------3--------------| -----1--1-----1--1--1--1--|-----1--1-----1--1--1--1--| --------------------------|--------------------------| E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E --------------------------|--------------------------| --------------------------|--------------------------| --2--------2--------------|--2--------2--------------| --2--------2--------------|--2--------2--------------| -----0--0-----0--0--0--0--|-----0--0-----0--0--0--0--| --------------------------|--------------------------| best regards, Skalde This post has been edited by Skalde: Jul 5 2008, 06:04 PM |

I would play it with alternate picking but get used to doing it slowly and you'll find it easier when you try and do it full speed again.

no i'd do that downstrokes. it'd sound better imo. bit of practise and 200 will be fine.

Rhythm stuff like this I play always with downstrokes. It´s a bit tricky to do is fast.

You can do both, but downstrokes will sound the best.

I think either is fine. Down strokes will sound more tight if you can keep up the pace. Alternate is also fine since the double stops come on a downstroke so they will sound good, easier to manage if 200 bpm is too fast for all downstrokes.
Keep the power chord fingering all the time, no need to be lifiting fingers if that's what you do between the A and G+D string. -------------------- My bands homepage
