I used to play with economic picking, but as most guitarists looks to play alternate, I'm learning what I know again but in alternate picking.
So how would you play this :
Note N°:.1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8.....9...10..11...12...
Finger :.3...1...4...3...1...2...3...3.....3...1...3....1....
Piking :.D...U...D...U...D...U...D...U.....D...U...D....U....
....D||------13--------------------------------------------||
....A||--15------17--15--13----------15----15--13----------||
....F||----------------------14--------------------14--12--||
....C||--------------------------15------------------------||
....G||----------------------------------------------------||
....D||----------------------------------------------------||
I tried to see how Alexi play's it, cuz' tabs are not always correct, but we don't see him in the videos when he's playing this melody, and I dont really see how to play see part somewhere else on the neck, or at least, I find it comfortable on the 12-17 frets.
It's quite easy with economic, with the 13-14-15 being picked with a little sweep, but way harder with alternate picking. Is it simply because I'm not used to it and to string skiping ? (even if that's not really string skipping, just that the 14 is an upstroke while the hand is going up)
And how do you play the 7th ad 8th notes ?
I used to move my third finger quickly from one string to the other, but I'm saying myself that this would maybe not work with a faster tempo. So do you make a sort of "small barr" with your ring finger to play the same fret twice ? Or do you use another finger (like pinky) ?
