I was thinking last night, that obviously with every movement you do on the guitar, your speed is limited by the slowest motion you can do - so for example with alternate picking the speed you can play at can only be as fast as each component part - the downstroke and upstroke. This is when I noticed that I can downstroke over and over very very fast, but upstrokes are virtually impossible to do over and over at any half-decent speed.
Would it be a good idea to improve up-strokes such that it speeds up my alternate picking? It seems logical that if the upstroke improves in speed then it would improve alternate picking automatically?
Do you find that your upstroke is as good as your downstroke?
