Alternate picking

Alternate picking is merely a picking technique that consist of successively playing downstrokes and upstrokes, several times in a row. Usually, the movement comes from the wrist only but for fast lines, the movement can come from the forearm but then the wrist must be kept blocked.

Alternate picking on every open string

The point of this exercise is simply to prepare the right hand. The pick movement comes from a rotation of the wirst. The forearm stays still excepted when changing string.

Glissando on one string

The difficulty here is to have a good synchronisation between the left and the right hand so that each stroke corresponds to a distinct note. Which is not quite easy.

Down a minor 7th pentatonic then up a 6m pentatonic in first position

Nothing too difficult here since everything is played in alternate picking and changing string occurs with a downstroke. This is a basic movement that must be played as cleanly as possible.
