This lesson is excellent for working on the “Up” Stroke to gain a propelling natural momentum. It is only an exercise but as you alternate with the pick and “Feel” the 2nd beat [the “Up” stroke] and “Accent” it you will produce a rhythmical and polished musical line.

The next exercise is a 3 string pattern. Again, the key to alternate picking this pattern is to come “Up” on the up stroke of the second beat by accenting it.
