Do you have any ideas on where should I promote this stuff? I’m trying to position a facebook ad but I’m totally confused with all the variables, for now I’ll just post it with more or less default settings.
Well, it’s very fascinating that it all came naturally for you and you’ve realized that it’s all about changing strings after downstrokes. Without CTC I’d have never made this discovery 
Amazing playing, again.

Thank you, that worked pretty well.

That’s a thing that makes it harder for everyone, you hardly ever find a good guitar player who’s aware of how his own technique works. The only players that I remember talking about a preference for downstroke or upstroke changes are Andy James and Greg Howe.

Thank you for this!!

I’m trying these now, they are great! I’m finding that resting on the string above, the rest stroke, is really important for timing and ensuring that you get good clarity of note. Is this true in people’s general experience of single escape playing?

Pretty cool!
Last time I did some work on these basic motions was some 5/6 years ago and, although I did not develop it to your mastery level 
, I remember noticing that EJ and Joe Bonamassa had a very similar kind of flow in their lines (basically pentatonic scales with even-and-odd groupings), however the latter seemed to be an “upward pick slanting” player. I think the nomenclature has changed through the years, I gave Troy’s materials a good look and study when they first came out, I did not follow the evolution as there’s enough material for me between the videos on YJM, EJ, Gilbert and Batio 
Anyhow, I then figured out I could just invert the slant of the pick and the up- with the down- stroke to get the same kind of lines but from a downward pick slanting perspective.
Very cool indeed!

I’ve just come back to your lesson and I’m trying t learn these patterns in conjunction with the cascade course that Troy did.
Is it fair to say that I won’t be able to play something like Cliffs of Dover note for note, because I have a DSX motion and I run into dead ends when I switch strings after a downstroke and get stuck between strings?
Rather, I’ll eventually be able to play something very close to all of EJ’s cascading patterns with a DSX,but it should sound really cool, and at that speed, who really cares its not note for note?
Even just the intro to Cliffs, I’m finding I have to change it slightly so that I can escape after a down and my sweeps are in slightly different places to EJ’s and Troy’s.
What was your experience with this? I think part of what stops me making progress is that there just isn’t a lot of transcribed stuff for DSX players, we seem to live in a USX world. Coupled with the fact that I’m left handed and playing standard guitars makes it tough!
Oh no, that’s terribly sad news. My deepest condolences, thoughts and prayers to his family and friends everywhere. Thank you for letting me know

I just didn’t want you to feel that Adam was ignoring you by not answering your comment. We have other DSX players here who might be able to share their thoughts, hopefully they can comment.

Yes I totally understand that and thank you for your kindness.
I did notice that he only posted 3 youtube videos, and I thought that it was odd that he hadn’t been posting more since they were so well done and helpful, I wondered why he hadn’t posted anything else. And then yesterday I started to get a bad feeling that something terrible may have happened.
I never met him but this is such sad news to hear, it’s devastating to hear of anyone passing away, but he was such a credit to himself and a blessing to this community and I’m sure many others.
