End solo mr Crowley

How to you pick the opening sequence of end solo mr Crowley? Is it a downpicked sweep or inside pickingšŸ¤” I think it sounds better when downpicked, but it so much harder to play that way.

I sweep it, bit too fast to reliably pick for me.

I do:

A: down
F: pull off
D: down
A: down
F: pull off
D: down
etc.

So basically I downpick (read: sweep) the 1st and 3rd notes in the sequence. Just takes some time to program it in, so to speak. Thatā€™s probably how RR did it, too.

RR = U-p-D-U-p-D

Thatā€™s how I do it, same as RR, USX, outside picking with pull offs.
Sweeping up from E to B equires an extreme secondary motion to get back down to the E string,

and no one is going to mention the minimoog model d in that video! :drooling_face:
