Will use the videos tho and persist with the exercise.

That's interesting pattern that you do several ways.

I encourage you to try it with both outside picking (starting with a downstroke) and inside picking (starting with an upstroke). Just trying both will give you an idea of which one works better for you. And continuing to work on both will improve your playing skills in the long run.

I can see how inside picking might work better for this particular phrase once you get comfortable with starting on an upstroke. You can also break that phrase up into 6 note groupings that neatly cycle over & again.

Have fun with it!
