Alternate versus Economy Picking: Which is more better?! This is the ultimate guide!
The right hand shred camps are hotly divided between your hardcore alternate pickers (Paul Gilbert, Al Di Meola, John Petrucci) and your economy picking pros (Frank Gambale, Eric Johnson, Tosin Abasi, Yngwie Malmsteen). But which technique is better for YOU!? This lick will help you decide!
Your good buddy Uncle Ben Eller here has devised this lick as a way to practice both picking styles and find which one is best for your mitts. I'll show you the lick, both picking styles, then we will go over the pros and cons of both!
