In this exercise continuous alternate pickings (up and down) are performed with a plectrum along one string. While the left hand fingers the notes and changes the position fret by fret, the right hand mutes the strings to make the tone short and precise (palm mute). This is especially important when using distortion, otherwise the sound will become spongy and unclean.
The alternate picking exercises are 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.
