In this exercise continuous alternate picking (up and down) is performed with a plectrum along a single string. While the left hand fingers the note and changes the position fret by fret, the right hand mutes the string to make the tone short and precise (palm mute). This is especially important when using distortion, otherwise the sound would become spongy and unclean.
The alternate picking exercise is included in the Guitar Lovers Studies PDF or as play along track in the Jamtracks PDF which feature high graphic resolution for printing and integrated sound.
