How do you twps? Inside or outside?

Just curious how others are doing this. It seems inside picking may be more efficient to facilitate speed. I’ve spent a lot of time practicing TWPS and it’s progressing, but I just noticed I’m doing it with outside picking.

Maybe a switch to inside picking this would make it quicker to develop?

I’m not sure about speed, but certainly inside picking makes “swiping” more difficult, so it may make it easier for you to check that your TWPS movements are clearing the strings.

Or in other words, mistakes tend to be more obvious in inside picking passages.

Interesting. Well, I am hoping I will naturally develop my ability to swipe so maybe I will stick with outside picking for now.

Actually I would suggest to try both, and also some exercises that switch between the two within the same phrase (e.g. a 3 notes-per string scale played across 3 strings). Precisely because some types of errors are more audible with inside picking, practicing it can be a good way to clean up your playing!
