So after watching the swiping and two way pickslanting videos on the Antigravity seminar I’m a bit confused, the reason is that essentially after watching the Primer I understand that Downward pickslanting and upward pickslanting aren’t really the ways in which players are escaping the string but it is actually escape motion, be it DSX, USX or DBX. So this creates 2 questions for me.
The first one is in swiping, Troy describes 3 parts necessary for executing swiping, left hand muting with the index finger, upward pickslanting and actually playing the fundamental note that is intended to be played. So to my understanding, for this technique to work, it is actually necessary to use an upward pickslant as opposed to an escaped motion. So if we were using DBX form we need to switch to a DSX only form which should in theory also create an upward slant of the pick, this if we are intending to do descending swiping coming of an upstroke, like MAB does. Is that correct here?
And my second question, Troy talks about doing two way pickslanting doing a down up rotate motion, to my understanding now, after watching the primer, in reality what we really need if we want to escape the strings both ways, is a DBX motion as opposed to trying to rotate and escape. Is that correct in this case?
I’m looking forward to your replies! Thank you for your attention.
