well I use alternate picking but, when im playing fast and I need to jump over a string (for instance from A to G) I find it most comfortable with economy picking. But still that is hard too Should I use alternate picking when jumping over strings? For instance when im playing the intro to sweet child o mine I find it hard to play it with alternate picking. Well I learned the intro before I learned alternate picking so that could be a reason. Thing is, you should be able to use both alternate and economy. -------------------- Youtube

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7-zD2IQYTw - A very nice video by Rick Graham about economy.
Here's a question for all you definers of economy picking: Would you say there's a difference between playing with economy picking and playing with economy of motion. The pre-mentioned 3 note per string lick by Emir could possible me played with less motion than used in alternate picking it (I must admit I haven't really checked it out, but I'll do so in a minute). I'm sure it would be awkward as hell though. CODE Alternate picking: |-3-| |-3-| |--3-| |--3-| |--3--| |--3--| S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S E||--------5-7-8--------7-8-10---------8-10-12-|| B||--5-6-8-------7-8-10--------8-10-12---------|| G||--------------------------------------------|| D||--------------------------------------------|| A||--------------------------------------------|| E||--------------------------------------------|| d u d u d u d u d u d u d u d u d u w w w w w = 5 wasted units of energy Economy for 1/4 note's value then alternate |-3-| |-3-| |--3-| |--3-| |--3--| |--3--| S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S E||--------5-7-8--------7-8-10---------8-10-12-|| B||--5-6-8-------7-8-10--------8-10-12---------|| G||--------------------------------------------|| D||--------------------------------------------|| A||--------------------------------------------|| E||--------------------------------------------|| d u d d u d u d u d u d u d u d u d w w w w = 4 wasted units of energy Economy of motion: |-3-| |-3-| |--3-| |--3-| |--3--| |--3--| S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S E||--------5-7-8--------7-8-10---------8-10-12-|| B||--5-6-8-------7-8-10--------8-10-12---------|| G||--------------------------------------------|| D||--------------------------------------------|| A||--------------------------------------------|| E||--------------------------------------------|| d u d d u d d u d d u d d u d d u d dw dw = 4 wasted units of energy (double wastex2) Wasted unit = moving across a string without playing it. If you have any other ways of picking it (not legatoing or hammering on), feel free to add further to the above. Now I am not saying the two lower ones are the better ones, because I think for many they will feel more awkward, so just consider it a general analysis of wasted motion and do with it what you want |

No way economy picking would work there -------------------- Check out my <a href="https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/instructor/Emir-Hot" target="_blank">Instructor profile</a>

I think the guy missed that 2 downstrokes in a row require a motion twice the speed of 1 down 1 up.
