Thanks for question!
Well in this case I would strongly suggest you to play this straight alternating 1-2-1-2.Do worry about it much because its a standard finger picking pattern that is know making troubles alternating And I will assure you that with just a regular practice daily (not excessive) you will be able to play it alternating..Now if the song is in a slow tempo and that particular passage is slow you can pass playing your way but otherwise I would suggest alternating because that way is a big loss in speed. So I would suggest this to practice : Left Hand: 3 2 1 G ----------------------- D -----5--4------5-4--- A -----------4---------4 E ----------------------- Right Hand: 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 So play it continuously in circles (yes I left out one note on purpose) , so you will practice alternating and on every turn you will land on A string with a different finger.Start with a metronome very slowly, and concentrate yourself on your right hand to make fingers alternate.. Its ok not to always alternate , many bass players tend to play slow songs with one finger with adding others from time to time,but thats in slow songs.And I think you can pass in many times not alternating on the same string (etc playing 1 1 2) but I would recommend not letting the habit build up of playing notes on different strings with a same finger in a row..It can pass from time to time but it can slow you down very much..And its harder later on to fix it Last but not least , I will suggest doing these exercises daily : https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/misc-less...-hand-exercise/ They are very much focused on the right hand alternating and will cover a lot of possible patterns!
