Re: Economy or alternate picking
I’m only two years into playing mandolin and octave mandolin but I have yet to find a teacher or coach who doesn’t espouse alternate picking for beginning-to-intermediate players. I know there’s a place for sweep/economy picking but I believe that it’s genre-specific or style-specific. It suits guitar quite well but in general it’s less useful on mandolin. I’m still learning, though!
A couple years in, now, and still learning!
Ratliff F-style Country Boy
Eastman MDO-305 Octave Mandolin
Kentucky KM-272
I don’t know what I want to be when I grow up.
