The title may be a bit misleading, but this is a serious question. For months I've been playing using nothing but alternate picking, and I've noticed that many guitarists use nothing but alternate picking, but just as many use a mix of both alternate picking and down-strokes.
So, the question. Should I dedicate my time to progressing my alternate picking chops, or should I work up my down-stroke abilities again and use a hybrid mix of the two. I can see the benefits of doing a hybrid mix of them, but I also see an advantage with doing nothing but alternate picking.
Anyone have any advice?
