Alternate Picking
So what if we are playing a piece that has two notes following each other on the same string? Well in that case we use alternate picking. That means playing the string with T and then I. Try these exercises with and without blocking.
Remember to use a metronome and build up your speed gradually.
Now let's try it crossing strings. Do both exercises starting the pattern with the thumb then do them again starting with the index finger.
