My favorite way of alternate picking: Using even note groupings and downward pickslanting.

In this neo-classical sounding piece you will find mixture of 8th notes, 8th triplets, 16th notes and 16th triplets changing in every bar. Useful for escaping from one rhythm pattern to another.

By using the very simple concept exposed in this lesson, you will soon be able to create some very complicated sounding riffs.

Playing over different types of beats/bars.

Fresh fusion funking in 7/8!

Using some wide intervals can help you spice up your playing. Let's explore some of these ideas and spice up your phrasing!

This rhythm is called "Kalajdzisko oro" (oro is a type of Macedonian dance with very complex rhythmical structures). It's intended to improve your picking skills and widen the range of your playing style and rhythm understanding.

Riffing in odd meters using thumb, index, medium fingers or pick.

The most aggressive-sounding picking there is. NB not for the faint-hearted!
