I’ve learned more by watching and learning from your videos than I have by mindlessly practicing... imagine that!

I'm currently working on the exact same thing. I'm good going down on the fretboard but up is a different story. Feels like the pick get stuck while sweeing up or something. Oh well, I'll get it soon.

Thanks so much

Never seen this technique before....very interesting.

[@ArrogantBaSStard]

I notice when picking fast, my pick tip gets stuck either on the up or down stroke. For example in the first slide of the Ventures Pipeline. I noticed you’re holding the pick flat side towards the strings. Does that help with a smoother fast picking since the pointy tip isn’t jutting out to get caught on the strings? Thanks!

There.. just what i need..

Is this the ONLY way to play a scale or can you also play it the alternate picking way?

[@tomhessmusiccorp]

You can play the scale any way you want. There is almost never "only" one way to do anything on guitar. That said, some ways are easier/faster to learn and speed up your progress more than others. That is what I show in the video :)

Economy picking, but counting the sweeping as one upstroke

Lessons would be good but dont have the cash for it right now
