I accidently learned economy picking when trying to learn how to alternate pick- it really messed up my technique for a while...
But now that i alternate pick i think its great for 'speedpicking' and some riffing maybe, ofcourse string skipping licks too.
However
limiting yourself to just one technique is exactly that IMO =
limitingYou can get some mega cool trippy spaced out smooth sounding sequences and patterns using economy, its a great way to cross strings with a legato sound.
Why not mix up a solo with a flowing legato sequence with economy picking and tapping and then burst out, stomp the overdrive and alternate pick someones face off for the aggressive sound!
To be virtuosos we must learn
everything.....
I'd love to master economy picking soon and learn to switch between the styles dependant of the lick/ desired effect.
ofcourse im just
another point of view among many
