I''m just wondering what helps you guys out with alternate picking, that's the only thing i am not that good at, what are some good exercises...

String skipping is a great way to get it down. make sure your hand is resting againest the bridge and mute the strings your not playing.


Example: with open strings
----------------------------------00--
---------------------------------------
--------------------------00----------
-----------00-------------------------
--------------------00----------------
---00---------------------------------

Down up picking of course


Hope this helps

keep time with your foot. when you foot goes up, do an up stroke, when your foot goes down, do a down stroke.
