Ways of Picking a Scale

Playing Technique
#1

Hello all

I am mostly a gypsy picker at the moment and have been for a while. I was just exploring different ways of picking a scale and then wrote them all out.

Firstly I was wondering if you’d proofread my work. I’m not super familiar with economy picking in particular.

Secondly, any other ways of picking a scale like this that I’m missing? I guess there’s more legato options now that I think about it…

Any chance of a pdf? Would be interested to look at ir :slight_smile:

It’s there! There’s two links.

I’m working on legato stuff now and updating it with some 4nps stuff. So it’s a work in progress.

I should have mentioned, this is sort of jazz oriented and this way of playing scales is patterned after Barry Harris.

This video explains it:

I was wrong. I hate that.
