[QUOTE=ScottMoney]what's the difference between alternate and economy??

alternate picking is strictly down up down up, while economy is like when ur goin up a scale 3 notes per string, is to go down up down, then keep the down stroke, so ur goin down up down down up down down up down down up down, ye know wat i mean?

i use alternate mostly, but when i'm doing a strict scaling down typo thing i ue economy.
