Alternate Picking
Alternate picking is basicly a way of picking where the pick hits the strings with upstrokes and downstrokes mixed. The mixing is always in the same order, so it's down-up-down-up. It's never down-down-up-up. When switching strings the movement just goes on. If people want to go double down or double up, when changing strings, they use economy picking. Here's an example of alternate picking:

G---6 (down)--7(up)--6(down)--7(up)------------------------------------
D------------------------------5(down)--8(up)--7(down)---------------
