I have never before thought about the way I pick, and thought that what I did was alternative.
And a few days ago I sat down and looked at what I did. Of course it was Economy picking.

But I don't see why you would want to play Alternative picking, as Economy let's you move faster between the strings.

So is there a reason to why you would want to play Alternative, and what is good about it?

And same question about Economy Picking.

Need some answers. smile.gif

@ Zeyth. You need to be critical of your sources. You've had several people telling you their opinion and why that lick won't work where 2 of them posts great lessons on this site on this very topic. Still you favour the unknown guy with the internet page. Sure, he played fast in the youtube video but where is his phrasing, tone and timing?

Have you tried played string skipping arpeggios with economy?
