Aisle11 / 55647: You guys heckled me first. I didn't do anything to you, and you post about how your guitarist is better than me. First of all, who cares who is better than whom? (besides, this video is over 2 years old) Second, now that you mention it, I don't think your guitarist is anything to write home about either.

i wouldnt have thought that would have mattered, he played better than this guy, and i would bet you aswell, post videos before flaming bro
Great playing! Could you tab this lesson?

Thanks. The tab appears at 6:38 or so... probably easier just to jump to here or just copy the tab down. It's only 5 notes anyhow, so it shouldn't be too hard to remember.

Good video man. You obviously know your stuff. So hopefully you can answer my question. : )
When playing a series of triplets and going on to a lower string, wouldn't it be more efficient and easier to just use a down stroke on the next string?
ex. (low e string) down up down .....then....a string (down (instead of up)up down)
Your wrist is already going in the down direction, so why not continue it?

If you can pull it off, sure. But that's economy picking. My lesson is on alternate picking. I think it's good to master this method (first) because it gives you a new sense of control and mastery of the instrument. Plus, once you really get it, it can be faster (thought that's likely debatable). For a good case FOR alternate picking vs economy, watch Steve Morse. For a good case AGAINST, watch Dave Weiner. Have fun!
