I catch myself doing it quite often when training two-way pickslanting. Let’s say I’m going to play 6 notes on a string and 3 in the next, on the string I’m going to play 6 notes, I rotate on the third note and sometimes that makes everything fall apart. Can anybody relate to that? Does it have something to do with the way I’ve been chunking so far, playing only 3 notes per string?
Well if the number of notes are even you only need 0 rotations but more will be harmless, right? Indeed, if your brain views 6 = 3 + 3 then perhaps you’ll rotate twice and cancel it out… how do things “fall apart?”
The critical thing is that odd number of notes per string need an odd number of rotations (presumably just one, the minimum required).
Or am I missing something?
I’d say so. Any sort of mixed escape playing should be situational - with two-way pickslanting, you want those rotations to only happen when needed, not at random unnecessary times.
Maybe try a line where the escapes are a little more jumbled up.

I’m gonna try those Rusty Cooley licks and see what happens. Thanks.
