→Cross-String: Inside
If you play the above example, you can see that your pick always starts its motion from between (or ''inside'') the two strings. As you pick each pair of notes, you are making a figure 8 type pattern where you pluck the string then reverse directions moving the pick over that string and coming back down inside the strings to pluck the other one. Once you pluck that one, you again have to reverse directions and move the pick over the string just plucked to get it back between the strings and repeat.
Of the two cross-string variations, this seems to be the more economical and easiest to master. However, the deceptive secret here is to make sure you get enough power on each stroke. If you use the same motion as on a single-string, you'll find your stroke isn't long enough to jump the first string and pick the second with solid force. Focus on making big, powerful, sweeping figure 8 motions, starting slow and then building speed as you get more and more comfortable with the motion.
