Andreas demonstrates rest strokes allowing the pick to stop on the adjacent string as well as using downstrokes when moving to the next string and alternate strokes while remaining on the same string. As Andreas increases the speed, he aptly demonstrates how this technique lends the proper feel and rhythmic element to single-note phrases.

It cracks me up that someone should try and show Frank Vignola how to play ‘Gypsy’ guitar, check out 100 years of Django or better still try and see him live, what a treat.

Finally, someone who says to learn both sweep AND alternate picking! No one listens to me!

We had alternate picking, economy picking, sweep picking and now we have Gypsy picking?

Great series of clips! At 2.53 he actually plays a M6 and calls it a m6 for those of you who, like me, thought your hearing was out of wack. Play the first note with an upstroke, pull off the second note and play everything else the same way in this riff and you have the Malmsteen 3 string arppeggio technique used on many of his songs. It’s actually much easier to get this riff up in the 160 bpm range (16th note triplet beat divisions) with the Malmsteen approach.
