Alternate Picking same as Tremolo Picking?

Started 6 days, 18 hours ago (2008-10-06 06:15:00) by Bovinator

Hi, so I'm trying to learn these Thrash Metal Songs and it says you're suppost to Alternate Pick the Strings.Now I've heard that Tremolo Picking is also considered Alternate Picking.So if I would Tremolo Pick(meaning in hitting the string(s) rapidly) would I be "cheating" or doing it wrong or would it be considered like "my own playing style"?I hope this was understandable.Thanks in advantage....

Alternate picking question

Started 2 weeks, 6 days ago (2008-09-22 09:17:00) by atcair

I am working on alternate picking but so far I am not seeing the advantage when switching strings. For example, my natural way of picking, when I down pick on low E and move to the A string I also down pick that. That's what most people do right? It seems like up picking the A string takes longer (I know micro seconds) and I am wondering where the advantage is. I do understand it is a skill I ...

alternate picking clean, stuck ina rut?

Started 4 weeks ago (2008-09-14 05:51:00) by metallicafan616

I have taken advice to practise on the clean channel and use a metronome these past few months but i've noticed that I haven't managed to successfully increase in speed in a week. i started playing the same lick at 40bpm (all semi quaver triplets, which equates at 4nps - very slow. i then turned up the metronome 1 until i found it slightly challenging. it was roughly 70bpm that this ...

Tremolo picking -> Alternate picking?

Started 4 weeks, 1 day ago (2008-09-13 23:20:00) by xHellbound

Okay, so one day I synced my tremolo picking with 3 finger patterns. Is that a good way to practice alternate picking? Or should I really practice precise DU's or economy picking certain patterns? People said it sounds good, I guess. (listen to Shred v4, or Shred Guitar playing skill) Last question, can anyone recommend a scale to practice on so I can get away from constant 1-2-4 ...

Alternate Picking vs. Downpick

Started 1 month ago (2008-09-06 12:42:00) by stickstick420

im pretty terrabad when it comes to alternate picking between strings, and usually i see that down picking everything seems easier but this way i cant play as fast as i should i always end up finding downpicking to have more control rather than alternate should i just keep on downpicking really fast or at least try to alternate any tips on how to build up skill would help, or tabs...

Alternate picking palm muting

Started 1 month, 1 week ago (2008-09-02 17:07:00) by Selendile030

Ok, here is a problem i'm having and has been having for a LONG time........ When im alternate picking while palm muting, it ends sloppily. Hard to explain without being able to show what i mean but if im alternate picking while palm muting my downstrokes usually break the rhythm. I was always thinking that maybe im tightening my hand to much or perhaps too loose. I've tried many ...

Practice stuffs-Alternate picking and junk

Started 1 month, 2 weeks ago (2008-08-25 21:27:00) by MicahC

Someone delete this if I've offended the jemsite gods. So after about a year and a half of playing I've decided to start learning a bunch of different techniques that are used to in "shred". Alternate picking seemed like a good place to start. Is this good to practice with? If anyone has ANY advice then, I'd love it.

Yes, that's a wonderful leap in logic. I refuse to do backwards pinch harmonics because it's entirely pointless and now I can't be an artist. Well if an artist has to be open minded to absolutely everything then it's certainly something I don't want to be. I'm sure there's absolutely no musical technique you don't like the sound of and you plan on incorporating them all into your playing.

RE: Easiest song for alternate picking? - 2 new posts

Try the intro to "Genghis Khan" by Iron Maiden. It's also incredibly addictive- for the past 6 months or so, it's the first thing I start playing when I pick up my guitar.
