How would pick this?

[Jeremy Healey]

Hey all! I've ran into this note pattern a couple times now in a few different songs, and I'm wondering if there is a proper way to pick it? I struggle with this one more than others! I've messed around with it a little, such as trying to alternate pick it and just down pick it, but it just doesn't feel right.

Any input is greatly appreciated!

I would sweep / economy / sweep pick it

first 3 notes sweep pick up

next 3 notes, down pick G string then sweep pick up to A string

repeat last step for rest

I’ve done patterns like that and typically it feels best as all down picks to me. The muting makes it sound best that way (to me).

My mom's fav pattern. Like this and the reversed version (just like in Aerial intro). She use hybrid pickings for them, sometimes I do as she did, but I sometimes do DUD-DUD-DUD-DUD.

Hey man. Shape it as a chord and then alternate pick it. Make it a challenge. : )

maybe up up down

 

[k.robert]

I would go up-up-down up-up-down up-up-down up-up-down

I appreciate all of your input! After trying a few different ones mentioned and just playing around with it a bit more, I feel as if up-picking every note feels most natural and fluent

Practice makes better

Judging by the way it's set out in the bar, it looks like triplets - so a comfortable way of playing these would be: DUD DUD DUD DUD
