It IS all downpicking
but you don't have to torture yourself and wait for a long time till your speed comes on the right spot. If you like the tune then play it with alternate while practicing downpicking anyhow, then switch it to downpicking. I said "wait for a long time" cause many guys can't play that song at full tempo while being comfortable, it's gonna take a while for sure. -------------------- Youtube

Oh yeah, your question is but tricky tho,
"learning the song" could be only learning notes. Now, the technique you're gonna apply on those notes can varies but I don't think you would have to re-learn. And at the end, it's cool to be able to play same thing using different techniques! -------------------- Youtube

Well... if you can't beat the downpicking bpm there's not much choice is there?
I play the song alternate picking, that's MY way. I'm not that much into copying others I have to pick the exact same way. Which makes a point of, if you're a hardcore Metallica tribute artist you should definitly go for downpicking all the way. At the pub gig you'll have most or everyone fooled by alternate picking though. So I suggest you go for alternate picking now and switch to downpicking further down the road when you got your pace up. -------------------- My bands homepage

If you want to play the song now, do it with AP but remember to practice it in downpicking and switch to it once you can play it uptempo - it will sound much better

Sometimes the clicks of the metronome get on my nerves, but I try to do it as much as possible. I know it is important. I'll try playing some slower downpicking songs as MOP, such as Megadeth's Paranoid and some others. You have to do a focused practice with the metronome for couple of weeks and months perhaps to achieve a nice steady technique, so the solution is as always - practice & patience. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

Metronome training will never end, right Ivan? Every single new technique should be practiced with metronome for optimal result. Though I prefer backing tracks and playing along with songs. I heard that also helps rhythm placement. I do practice with the metronome, but not as much as I should. For now, MOP will be a challenge even if I play it AP, only diffrence is I will be able to play along with the song, whereas with downpicking I might have to wait a long while before I can play it in tempo. So for now, I will use AP, enjoy the song, and later on switch to downpicking. Thank you all guys, you're being a great help ! It will definitely never end, any metronome practice is better than without metronome, so this leads to the conclusion that everything should be practiced with metronome for good results. Using backing tracks is also a good thing of course, but with metronome you can change the tempo fast which is very important cause when you rehearse something you don't play it on a fixed tempo. You put it on 50-60bpm and then increase gradually to whatever speed you need to be on. If 50-60 is still tricky, increase the note durations etc.. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
