I am NOT trying to achieve Paul Gilbert speed or anything close to that. The styles of music I like don't get any faster than Freebird or Stairway To Heaven. Certainly not shred guitar My question is this: *should I practice strict alternate picking 3 hours a day when I DON'T* want shredder speed?** I've always slipped into Economy Picking without even knowing what it was, and I'm very comfortable with it. Using 100% alternate picking, I can't play anything yet. I'm trying to fine tune my practice schedule and I'm not sure if this should be in it. Can a Classic Rock/Blues player get by with Economy picking? Once again, I'm not after speed. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
