Hey, I’m new here.
I’ve started the Pickslanting Primer, and have gotten to determining my primary escape motion. If I do an even-numbered scale like the pentatonic, I am definitely using USX with DWPS, and starting on a downstroke when ascending the scale. However when descending, I start with a upstroke, still use DWPS and I assume I’m doing DBX even though it feels like USX due to the DWPS.
My question is what I determine as my primary escape motion. Ascending it’s 100% USX but descending I’m very unsure. Can anyone help?
The best approach is to record a short clip of yourself. We’ll be able to answer about your escape motion much more accurately.
