2025-02-08 18:07:36 +0000 UTCYou are not. I am an upslanting economy picker. I have issues when doing descending runs but Ben pointed out in the video a very key thing. The cornerstone note. Pretty much you look at the run in chunks. Once your muscle memory can alternate pick without effort on a single string, when it comes to playing the next string, you concentrate on the direction of the pick. That note alternates, up, down, up. just like alternate picking. what you can do is not pick the first string, just hammer it and legato then only pick the second string. You will see you are alternate picking that string slowly. Focus on that cornerstone note. Easier to show than type it. Sorry.

2025-02-01 10:40:19 +0000 UTCYou are correct. The bar is in 16th notes for the 4/4 time signature but the triplets are still there so there is an acceleration when playing the triplets. I would focus on the tempo to find your comfort zone.

2025-02-01 10:23:40 +0000 UTCIn the video you say decelerate to 8th notes, but the tabs are all 16th notes. Should it be 16th notes? I don't mean to come off any kind of way, I'm just confused.

2025-01-29 19:09:44 +0000 UTCGreat exercise, great teaching, I just joined patreon. About your question: I'd love to hear you talk and maybe show some tips about basic up and down pentatonics scales, alternate picking, 2-notes per string. This gives me really hard times past 90-100 bpm. Much harder than 3 notes per string complete scales!

2025-01-27 21:52:10 +0000 UTCI’m glad to FINALLY get some validation on the diagonal hand/pick motion (picking near the neck on low strings, closer to the bridge on high strings). I’ve been asked many times over the years why I do that, and honestly it’s just something I picked up (pun unapologetically intended) naturally. I’ve been a little self-conscious about it but if my Uncle Ben says it’s cool, then “This is the way”.
