Exercise Description

Lead with a downstroke, followed then by an upstroke. Repeat this pattern throughout the exercise. This is the foundation of alternate picking. Pay attention to keeping the notes evenly spaced apart and try to keep your pick close to the strings after hitting each note, this will help you play tighter at faster tempos in general.
