yeah thats a good question. Ultimately, its all about whatever the LAST picked note on a string is; is it an upstroke? DWPS. Is it a downstroke? UWPS. The true power of the paul gilbert lick is that it forces you to switch both slants RAPIDLY back to back: Down, Up, UWPS down, DWPS up, down, up. Notice the back to back pick slant swaps!

Uncle Ben, how would you work in pick slanting, a la Cracking The Code, with this exercise, or with The Punisher? Seems like the CTC pick slanting stuff isn’t really meant to be flipped around with how much time he spent discussing how Yngwie ALWAYS changed strings after an upstroke. Haven’t finished CTC stuff yet (though I have learned more about pick materials , wrist deviation and flexion/extension than I ever wanted to know, lol), but it seems like for most part, pick slanting shouldn’t be flipping and flopping every 20 notes or so...

Hey guys, what do you think of using index, ring and pinky instead of index, middle and ring like Ben does? Is there a difference?
