Now that we have had some practice using the "Tripeggio" and Economic Picking, let's add a scale shape to it. This isn't really a scale as such, it's just a shape that goes well with the initial Tripeggio. It's more of a hand drill to get your fingers used to doing Econ Picking/Sweep Picking and transitioning to a scale shape. Don't be thrown off by the speed at which I do the demo, it's just to show you what you will sound like with a bit of practice!
This pattern loops so try to loop it a few times and keep it clean. Precision is the key to everything. If you play sloppy slow, you'll play sloppy fast, so keep it under control. However, do push itin your practice beyond the point of control to see where it falls apart and to get your fingersready to play faster. You will "grow in to it". For the video, just share the cleanly played version.
*NOTE: Keep it smooth and under control. If you find you are losing control, slow down just a pinch for the video. Push the boundaries during practice.
