I love how mainstream the concept of escape picking has become! Troy and other innovators are really making a difference when it comes to demystifying guitar technique.
In this video, Cecil explains his approach to escaping exclusively on upstrokes and sweeping on downstrokes a la Yngwie and Benson (who clearly is his main influence technique-wise), and highlights the relevance of developing a nice tremolo motion. People just didn’t talk technique like that 30 years ago.
