Talk:Economy picking

Latest comment: 8 years ago by 136.159.49.125

A few of the examples in the "Pickers" section have nothing to do with economy picking (as applied to scales rather than arpeggios): "A common modern metal style is the use of alternate picking for scales and sweep picking for arpeggios, pioneered by Shrapnel Records artists like Zakk Wylde, Yngwie Malmsteen, Vinnie Moore, Paul Gilbert, Bruce Bouillet, Jason Becker, Marty Friedman and Richie Kotzen." "Paul Gilbert moved away from sweeping arpeggios in favour of string skipping arpeggios." 136.159.49.125 (talk) 00:21, 9 January 2016 (UTC)Mc136.159.49.125 (talk) 00:21, 9 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

I have a few thoughts to suggest in improving this article. 1) Try to find an article or some source that helps to support Frank Gambale as the most widely known economy or sweep picker, and cite it in the article. 2) You can improve the article by expanding on the details of the technique being used. You can do this by writing up a small tutorial or make a reference to an existing one out there on the internet or library. 3) "Maximize" as opposed to "maximise". It's not that important, just something to think about.

I did enjoy the article though! It was very interesting to read. :) Berlingots (talk) 11:09, 10 April 2015 (UTC)Reply
