Hi! Thank you for sharing these exercises! They sound, look very interesting! But I wanted to ask a question: do I need to do a "fake" stroke (downstroke) in exercises 2 and 3? I am very used to play only exactly where I make a note or at least a ghost note. And in general, if I am accustomed to strict alternate picking, sometimes differentiating intuitively, and sometimes doing strict downstroke should I still try to stick to the exact same pattern (like doing two double strokes sometimes) And it's also very interesting in ex3 where you need to do a fake downstroke and then a downstroke again on a 2 string 8th fret (3rd measure), is that supposed to be so? Sorry if the question is kinda dull but I just got confused
Hi, I appreciate your kind words! Your question is important and valid. Here is the detailed answer: in all exercises in the video, there is strict alternate picking, so your right hand keeps moving down-up with an even and steady pace. However, this whole set of exercises is about picking hand challenges. What I mean by that is the picking hand needs to keep moving even when there is a rest in the melody. In a sense, it's a "fake" stroke indeed, because you won't touch the string during the rest. in Ex. 2 the rest always falls on an upstroke. In Ex. 3 the rest can fall on an upstroke or downstroke, respectively. I recommend that you set the youtube player to 0.75 speed and watch closely the stroke signs over the tab. The rectangular sign means downstroke, the 'V' shaped sign means upstroke. Alternatively, just download the free lesson from tinyurl.com/alternate-picking-workout and there will be TABs and detailed descriptions for each exercise.

@@JonasTamas Thank you so much for your answer!
Nagyon jó, ezért most levettem egy gitárt a falról.
De jó, akkor \m/ár \m/egérte elkészítene\m/.
