It really depends on the style of music, and there are so many different ways to tackle picking.
But for me, as a double-escape picker… I’ve loosely followed this:
- 4 basic xfers ( Asc. Inside, Asc. Outside, Desc Inside, Desc Outside)
- 2,4 NPS Asc/Desc (outs/inside)
- 3 NPS Asc/Desc
- circular 2NPS, 3NPS, 4NPS,
- asc/desc 3’s,4’s,5’s,6’s… (1 & 2 notes at a time)
- 1 NPS Asc/Desc
- 1 NPS alternating adjacent. (outs/inside)
- 2,3,2,3 patterns (ie blues scale) asc/desc/circular
- 1,2,1,2 patterns (ie 7th arps) asc/desc/circular
- 3 note repeating patterns (1,2 patterns, 3 string fwd & reverse rolls)
- string skipping alternating (outs/inside) (single, double, triple)
- string skipping asc/desc/circ (1,skip,1,skip,1)
- mix & match all of the above
