I'd hate to turn into one of the typical YouTube troll creeps who has nothing but bad things to say about a video. But I can't keep quiet about this vid.
Beginners: please DON'T try to use this video to learn crosspicking. I don't think you can even get an accurate idea of what crosspicking IS from this video.
Concentrate on learning and mastering alternate picking. Then, once you are accomplished, you'll already know how to crosspick. Later, you can add some other crosspicking patterns.
i learned a lot from this guy and actually all of musicmoose years ago...i remember when the site first got started. and now almost 50,000 views on youtube, geez.
You can clearly see what's going on in the video. If you have a learning diasbility use a freeze frame. If you're already advanced enough to know what's wrong with the lesson, give yourself a BIG pat on the back. Well done!
you say up/down alternating but your pick strokes are all over the place. Folks watching this should stick with alternating up/down/up/down. Others like Rice might use a down/down/up pattern but most don't recommend this
the art of getting the flatpick in a roll has a lot to do with slowing down and figuring out what the heck you trying to play before you try and teach someone. what is going on in this video???? why was there nothing said about placement of up or down stroke's??? when you slowed down the so called mixed pattern it was all down stroke's, how do you do that up to speed?? i dont get it
Pure schlock - srsly, no consistency in the style except when he's playing too fast to illustrate what he's doing. Comes off as condescension and masturbation. Maybe there is some explanation for this in the previous or following videos - I will never know.
im waiting o see the fuckin guitar playin you twat so get on with it...iv been here five minutes with a really slow internet connection n all youve done is the intro n now youre makin a tit odf myself-anyways you look like an older version of my missus' ex so mug mug mugcnt

When crosspicking use alternating picking or economy picking(down, down up)
don't do all down unless you're sweeping.
You want consistency in you technique, especially if you are trying to teach.
When you get the technique mastered, go ahead and mix it up and use both, when it is more comfortable in a given context.
Keeping it strait alternating will be the easiest to master. Your right hand will be consistent.
Just my opinion.

Worthless. Your words and playing don't often match. Keep your day job.
