I think it's the same for all players who play this kind of string instruments.
Hammer-ons, or pull-offs are not an option. Alternate picking is the only way in order for all the notes to come out loud and clear. Here is a video of Manolis Karantinis, a master bouzouki player from Greece. He can easily shred with only alterante picking. https://youtu.be/T0R-aVwqjXs Another legend is Manolis Chiotis, who was admired by Jimy Hendrix for his playing. Years before "shreding"was a thing, he was a shredder! https://youtu.be/Rul2IA8Qy_A?t=136 |

I started playing mandolin a few years ago.
Definitely in bluegrass it is very strict in the playing alternate picking down on the 'number beats' up on the 'and' beats. So when there are hammers and pulloffs the hand doesn't stop going up and down. Check out Andy Wood he didn't start playing guitar until his late teens, starting on Mandolin at an early age. -------------------- My SoundCloud

I definitely have to look for some bluegrass music! Any recommendation? |

This is one of the pieces that got me into the mandolin
Nickel Creek are a nice easy way of getting into Modern bluegrass with some pop leanings (Chris Thile is an alien, he is like the Guthrie Govern of Mandolin) Every modern/ young player nods to Sam Bush as their hero, his right hand is unbelievable, I can't find a real show off video of him For Guitarists Billy Strings -------------------- My SoundCloud

If there is an instrument that is essential to have a correct set up it's a mandolin
