I find it difficult to descend scales with it as I tend to slant the pick downwards.
Recently I've made some real advances with Economy picking and added some cool new stuff to my repertoire.
I'm experimenting with upward pick slanting to see what I can squeeze out of alternating between the two, but I'm a long way off conquering it yet.
iv been going through a phase of just using alternate ...my main thing is legato and hybrid...i just need to improve quite a bit on economy ...so here goes the next couple of months

Football is rubbish.
iv been using 3nps scales for these but also 2 and 3 notes as in position scales ..that still work ok coming down...i want to be able to mix and match the different techniques iff possible .... i must try harder
I have descending patterns that are faster than my ascending ones. They tend to combine picking and legato techniques and sound really fluid. But all my patterns and techniques (that use economy) only use downward economy strokes.
It's not that I feel like there's a gaping hole in my ability, I'm just interested to see if learning to switch to upward pick slanting and back will open up some new cool ideas. May get me a little closer to Gambale level sweeping too... or not.
I agree completely. The more I learn these techniques and practice my own little exercises, the better I am able to link it all up.
.iv mainly been a legato type of player for most of what i do ....but then got into some hybrid then later i have been concentrating on my alternate that has always been lacking for me but getting there now .... it seems to be all mixing together well...apart from going up the scale ill have to take a good look at it....iv seen different players using motion from the wrist and others from the thumb and finger movement ...with the latter looking a lot more relaxed...
