I used to play with a pick / plectrum, but due to an injury, I had to convert to playing without a pick.
I'm trying to work on a 4 bar phrase that is all straight 8th notes, and building up speed with a metronome. My main focus was my left hand fretting the fingerboard, thinking the right picking hand could take care of itself. I've eventually realised though, that my right hand may not be consistent. Basically, in analysing this slowly, I've realised that while I thought I was alternating index / middle fingers, this is not actually the case.
So what I'd like to ask, is whether I should be aiming for strictly alternate right hand fingers, or if it makes sense to sometimes deviate from this?
I feel like if I make a decision on this and spend a lot of time practicing one way, that I'll be embedding this into my technique. I imagine there is not a right or wrong way to do this, but I'd really appreciate your thoughts and advice!
Anyway, I hope that makes sense? Thanks for reading and any suggestions!
