My greetings to people behind Guitar Tricks and especially to Anders, since I am his reliable student for two months now :)

I came to a lecture related to basic improvisation using minor pentatonic scale. I am wondering when I suppose to use downstrokes and when to use upstrokes while improvising? Or: When is the right time to use one or another in my solo?

I am bit confused about using upstrokes and downstrokes in general. Is it too early for me to preoccupy with that stuff?

Thank you,

Branislava
