Hey y'all!!!

One of the questions i get asked the most often is "which picking style is best: alternate or economy"?

To help you find which one fits you best, i designed this lick, which can be played with either style, and demonstrates the strengths AND weaknesses of both! Try them out and let me know which one works best for you. This is a great test to help you determine what direction you want to pursue (or run away from)!!!

Grab ALL the goods down below, and stay tuned for a bonus lesson show how and why i choose the right picking technique for my own playing!

Thanks so much for all you do!

(PS, i get back from Shiprocked on the 11th, so i'll be answering all your messages and questions then! Thanks!)
