Guitar Playing: The Next level

[mbgreen]

THanks for all the help.. you're right I was just getting ahead of myself. Ive picked up the first part of "Why Georgia" after about 1/2 hour of getting it down over and over. I bought myself a new Epiphone Les Paul for my birthday today so Ive been playing on that. I love it!!!

Have a question.. when you guys pick a riff say like this:

------------0--------
----------4----------
-------5-------------

do you do it all in a downward motion or do you pick down-up-down? I am in the habit of trying to always pick down all the time, and Im sure thats a bad habit...

Man, with this new Les Paul, the first thing I did was turn up the amp and just jam the hell out of LIOG. God that is so fun to play....

You should ALWAYS alternate pick. You'll never go anywhere using only downstrokes. Dave doesnt alternate pick too often, but trust me, he's an exception. Playing just about anyone other than DMB, make a conscious effort to alternate between picking up/down.
