My Confusion is on the notes that your supposed to pick which I bolded should I play up or down for correct technique. Please help me out here. Tabulature is good but we have to assume the length of the notes. And for an exercise like this I think we can assume they are equally long. Alternate picking! Pick down on the bold seven then think (or easier pick but miss) up5 down8 up7 pick down5 pick up8 pick down7 think (or easier pick but miss) up5 down9 up7 etc. So you see it's always down up down up down up down wether you hit or miss the string. -------------------- My bands homepage

see that's the way that it would come naturally to play but then it's not specificall alternate picking. Because you would have two down stokes in a row. So i'm not sure.... It's still alternate picking - alternate picking movement - even the misses count. Alternate picking is not about, like in your example, picking the bold notes up down up down etc. It's about the movement of the pick. And it's not about counting notes either, since they can be of various length, it's about following the rhythm. Just make the down up down up movement repeadidly, hit the notes your supposed to hit, if there's a hammer on still move the pick down or up keeping the flow but in the air this time. Picking in the air, the misses, and keep moving down up the entire time is what I did in the beginning and it really helps to get the feel for it. -------------------- My bands homepage
