hi my next beghiner question
but im check like half hour ago the kris lesson about ulitimate picking{alternate}
on that lesson --http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/membersonly/speedpicking1-video.htm
on that lesson he showing how to move betwen B string and HI E string
---------12-14-15
12-13-15---------
and the problem -lot of people here tell me to not cheat and go up and down even if im skiping the string but kris go when he explain the moves on 8min and 50 second on that video from the B string with down stroke and conect the E string again with the downstroke
it's ok??? becouse somebody tell me im have do that like if last move on B string be downstroke so im have to hit the E string with upstroke
or if im go to HI string from low string with downstroke im can use again downstroke and im not gonna cheat??
maybe stupid question but im wanna be sure becouse im have diferent answer from lot of you
Well basicly that's economy picking, something I use exclusivly, I guess it doesn't a steady sound like pure alternate, but I don't aim for a steady sound, so basicly if you want you'r playing to sound even, you should try aiming for pure alternate, that's my opinion anyway, I'm sure more experienced picker(I suck) could probably give you a better explanation
i dont think kris meant for you to use an Downstroke at 8:57- i see where you are coming from though.
Kris at this point is trying to show you the correct notes to play and has used a downstroke on the next string without thinking i guess.
After he has explained the notes he starts to alternate pick these notes more quickly- and uses an upstroke when crossing the string.
At this moment in time you should focus on strict DOWN-UP-DOWN-UP-DOWN-UP picking- and if you use two down picks in a row; tell yourself you are cheating.
Later on when you move to more advanced techinques such as sweep picking and economy picking you will cross strings using two down strokes, or two up strokes- but for now focus on STRICTLY ALTERNATE picking.
Hope i've helped (hope i answered your question well too )

Yeah,slow vids sometimes make us instructors to make mistake here and there.
Few days ago I was recording a lesson,slow video,
lick is all legato and I played it with alternate,
was thinking about the notes.
Then I re-recorded it .
and one more thing whats make me crazy the angle with pick im try like thousand ways..see many of videos but if i'm angle the pick the right way the sound is like 100% more death and not clear like if i'm try it angle backward..but i'm don't wana play backward becouse thats hurt my thumb
but i'm realy lost what im do badly with the right angle
for everybody who is bored with train speedpicking
there is 1 good exercises what im find on yotubee
