Outside Picking - a technique you should know

[Robert]

Well, apparently I had the wrong name for this technique... I read an article that called it "inside picking", but the majority of people do call it OUTSIDE picking. So there you go. The point is what the technique IS, and how it can benefit your playing. In the end, you can call it what you want. :)

I'm using the E Minor Pentatonic boxes 1 to 5. I'm alternating between two inside picking patterns. Look closely at my right hand to see that the pick is always on its way towards the next string I'm about to play, when I'm switching to a new string.
