watt is Economy Picking?

[wild_child]

economy picking is a more efficient way of changing to adjacent strings when playing something that is alternate picked. if the string you are changing to is below the string youre on, instead of doing a downstroke on the first string and then an upstroke on the second, you move to the second with a downstroke so you use the same motion, and the other way round if youre changing to a string above. think of it as sort of miniature-sweeping between 2 strings, its good for building up a bit of extra speed.
i dont think i explained it too well, lol, if youre still not sure look up economy picking in the articles, theres probably loads on it.

kiss doesnt stand for Kids In Satan Service??

When I was like 10 or 11 I knew this kid who was a huge KISS fan. He was also very religious and he told me he got rid of all his KISS stuff when he heard the rumor that KISS stood for-- kids in service for satan.

[Guila]

he sure took the wrong way..
if my religion told me to quit kiss i would quit my religion...
PS: Im not pagan or anything

[Carvinite]

[Spin 2513]

[Spin 2513]

Here some Ace Riffs with Economy picking ..:cool:


Tell me what you think guys

[Bizarro]

I love the Ace Frehley scale! It's great for blazing in a mindless way! :cool:

Powertab really butchers those bends in the Ace Riffs file. It's very much in the Ace style tho'. Nice job.:)

Do you have any soundclips?

[Spin 2513]

Yes , well , power Tab , doesn't produce the greatest tone .

it makes the Bends sound like somebody's standing on a Cat .

About sound files , i have to figure out how to make them with my software.:confused: i have a bunch of demos on Cassette Tape , i'm egar to get up here . :cool:
