If everyone did everything the same way, music would be one boring bash of notes You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Troy Stetina's book is very cool... although he does use some quite difficult finger positions and pick patterns in my opinion. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

See what seems most logical to you and easiest to play. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Why would 14th being 12th fret make a difference in picking? Could you please develop this? One reason to make it a downstroke could be to avoid inside picking. Another could have to do with accentuation of certain notes, some players prefer to downstroke accentuated notes. Just trying to understand different views on this, as most seem to prefer an upstroke in dark dude's example. H4H You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I love the sound of the downstroke as it has more strength and it continuously goes down on rest of the strings. My pick tends to entangle while doing inside picking.. Its pretty odd for me to do 3 upstrokes and 2 downstrokes.. I prefer 3 down and 2 up.. Probably coz my upstroke is weak. It doesn't make difference but most starting 'sweep' relates to 12th fret that I am used to. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
