I have problems doing 3nps runs like in Zsolts new lesson because I get lost when transfering to the next string on whether or not its a up-stroke or a down-stroke. Any Tips about breaking the habits of economy and moving into AP once and for all ? Thanks You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Hi i'm not the right person probaly to tell you what to do but my recomendations is to take some exersizes{or scale} for alternate picking and start play slowly down-up-down-up-down-up and later you will find breaking your economy habits there is don't happen nothing big but just your finger get remeber those down-up-down moves thats work for me You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

There's not much else that you can do other than.. take a 3nps pattern and just say up down up down through out it. And make sure you keep following that pattern.. never performing two ups or two downs in a row.. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

This lesson has helped me more than any of the others that focus on AP. I can do the first half at 65 or 70 bpm now.....ok, 60 65bpm and not make errors. I am not sure if I will ever get much faster but I keep trying. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

It took a couple weeks of focused playing before AP became second nature to me. Now I can hardly pick without AP. lol good luck! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Just start slow always and don't worry, it will be OK. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Once you've done this a couple of weeks alternate picking will become natural too you and then you dont need to think about it anymore and you can start shredding again You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
