They have different sounds and applications, and players are wise to choose appropriately. In my article I never meant to imply that there was anything wrong with economy picking.

I would never say that one method is better than another; they both have their advantages and disadvantages. Hope this clears things up!

Perhaps I mean something else when I use the term "economy" picking. Economy picking is faster than alternative picking, see here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFRBrELqoQA I am confused.

Quick question. I've hit a wall (speedwise) with alternate picking, and someone suggested trying economy (cross) picking. In this post, though, you seem to suggest that this quick fix harms technique over the long-run. Is that because economy picking is inherently bad, or because you were using a combination of alternate and economy picking? If anyone has thoughts on alternate vs. crosspicking, please share. Thanks! Deb :guitar: Lori –Thank you for posting this helpful info! Your blog has been very motivational.

I think it sounds better than the example tab, so here it is. e|-------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------2-----------2-3-----2-3-5-5/7-----------| A|------2-3----2-3-5--2-3-5----5-3-2-3-5------5----------------------| E|1-3-5-----5--------------------------------------------------------| Each note is 1/16th so it should take roughly 2 bars. Use the same technique described above and you should really increase your speed. PS: Does anyone here collect Total Guitar? It's a great magazine!!
