Alternating picking should be first or dn up up dn ect.
Sweep picking and rakes come later thier more advanced.
I think most any guitar instructor would agree.
In sweep-picking you don't want use partial bars.
Rolling your fingers off each note is the answer.
A good place to start is just useing 3 notes on all the tec's obove.
Your left hand 9 out of 10 is faster than your right hand.
