My question is regarding the attack of the string when we move from one to the next above. When Zsolt is doing an ascending part he first attacks every string from below (upstroke), but when he is doing descending parts he attacks the next string in the same way (upstroke again). I don't know why but when I have to do the descending part my head tells me to attack the next string from above (downstroke), for me it's more "symmetrical" to the ascending part, nearer to a strict alternate picking, but in this case I would have to modify the exercise to apply this pattern of upstroke-downstroke for descending. So my question is, should I work the exercise as it is even it costs me a lot to change my playing, or both ways of picking are good? I mean, will I take some advantage of doing as you do it Zsolt?

It will mean a lot in a long run. The more combinations you cover, the easier it will get tomorrow to practice new stuff, because you systematically go over a wider range of techniques in the start. So, combine the most comfortable approach with a wider range of techniques approach if you ask me mate. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

This is just an exercise using alternate picking, and while doing this you'll get familiar with the fretboard and you can start making your own licks in the modes. Another thing is that you can actually practice it in every key, or when you practice, try to remember the finger patterns, not the dots on the guitar so while playing in another key, you won't get lost.
