Inside, outside picking

Playing Technique
#1

I have one of those questions that is probably obvious but I’m struggling with doing it.

It being outside picking.

I have never incorporated it and I do ok without however I see where it hinders me from lining out a better picking path at times. It feels so foreign that I’m afraid learning it will screw me up. I understand it will hinder me for a while for sure.

I use, swiping, up, down, extra note all the tricks we talk about here but not outside picking

Should I invest the time in it and do you use both equally? Do you use both or what are most of you doing

Hey! I think this type of question is very lick-dependent (in what context the outside picking is happening) and of course technique-dependent (what posture-joints are you using to generate your picking motion etc.).

The easiest way to go about this is to film a specific lick or phrase you are trying to do so we can take a look!
