Like this: e-------------------------------------------------------------------------- B-------------------------------------------------------------------------- G-----7--5--4------------------------------------------------------------- D---------------7--5--4--------------------------------------------------- A-------------------------7--5--4----------------------------------------- E-----------------------------------7--5--4------------------------------- My picking hand stutters when I change strings I have no problem doing ascending licks, but descending licks are difficult for me. I use constant alternate picking. I've tried starting the descending pattern with an up-stroke instead of a down-stroke, and that helped a little. Any other advice?
