Description
Another exercise from our Purely Alternate Fast Track
-
This lesson mixes groups of 3 and 2, forcing you to start phrases on both downstrokes and upstrokes. Also variations of this with starting each fragment all down, or each fragments all up.
-
The goal isn't just picking accuracy, it's learning to:
- Feel the difference between upstroke and downstroke starts
- Keep your muting tight throughout
- Make the spaces between notes groove just as much as the notes themselves
- Stay relaxed through awkward rhythmic groupings
-
These subtle changes are what separate mechanical alternate picking from picking that feels effortless and musical.
