The #1 Social Network for Guitarists

The Debate: Are you Team Alternate Picking all the way, or do you switch it up with economy, hybrid, or whatever gets the line out cleanest?

One side wants consistency and control. The other wants efficiency and freedom.

Why It Matters: The picking approach you build into your hands shapes your speed, phrasing, and accuracy. Team Alternate or Team Switch-It-Up? Why?

Mini-Challenge: Set a slow BPM and test both approaches.

Congrats @san san for winning the Bronze Pick Award!

Some players call the capo a cheat. Others say it’s just a tool. And then there’s the middle ground: it’s both. What’s your take?

It matters because this isn’t just about gear, it’s about tone, voicing, convenience, and how you think about the fretboard.

Team It’s a cheat, It’s a tool, or It’s both? Why?

Mini-Challenge: Set a slow BPM and test both approaches.
