Economy picking

Economy picking is a guitar picking technique designed to maximize picking efficiency by combining alternate picking and sweep picking; it may also incorporate the use of legato in the middle of alternate picking passages as way to achieve higher speed with fewer pick strokes. Specifically:When picking multiple notes on a string, alternate picking is used. When changing to a new string, sweep picking is used. When playing a lick, scale or pattern that would require alternate strokes or sweeps, but a few notes are spared with the use of legato.
