→Technical Strength
This exercise uses different numbers of consecutive down or up strokes. This exercise requires moving your picking hand as though you are alternate picking, but you have to avoid hitting the string basically every other stroke. You also have to transition between down and up strokes in an "off" fashion - enhancing your versatility to adapt different rhythms while using various forms of alternate picking.
