Random picking leads to frustration 😳. If you want to make progress with your guitar speed and accuracy, you need to have a picking system 💪😎🎸.
A consistent picking strategy allows muscle memory to develop so that you don't have to think about picking at all when you are playing the guitar. Automating your picking technique allows you to concentrate on the more important things like expression and creativity.
There are many picking systems out there, and all of them are better than randomness 😀. But one of my favorite systems (and a great place to start if you don't know much about picking) is Economy Picking.
Economy picking is a valuable tool for any guitar player looking to improve their speed and technique. One of its advantages is the ability to mix scales and arpeggios without having to switch between different techniques.
Watch this video lesson to get a solid understanding of how economy picking works and begin incorporating it into your own playing.
This picking system is easy enough to get started even if you are a guitar beginner, but it also goes all the way up to virtuoso level if you put enough time into it (assuming you practice the right way). Watch the video below to learn more:
