Alternate picking and economy picking are constantly contrasted with each other and discussed. Most players want to know which one is better and which one they should focus on, but the answer may not be so simple.
Alternate picking is great for creating steady lines of notes at a firm pace and with the option to accent any one of them. With only alternate picking, you can achieve a nice and level single note output and choose to raise or lower the attack of any of the notes with great control.
The only downside to alternate picking might be that you cannot play as fast as with economy picking. Two things to consider with this though, is that you can get very fast lines with alternate picking, and economy picking may only have an advantage on rising lines.
With this in mind, you may find that the best solution is to use alternate picking as your main vehicle, while using other techniques such as economy and sweep picking when called for. There is little argument for not using alternate picking for most of your playing, as it allows the greatest possible range of sounds and with the most control.
Make sure that you can play a variety of ways with the pick in order to get the most out of it. Any one technique will not be able to play every possible sound that the pick can be used for.
This is an informative video on inside and outside picking on the guitar. As the video explains, these are the logical extensions of alternate picking when you have to pick between gaps of strings, and they will help you keep smooth alternate picking technique no matter what kind of jump you have to do between strings. It is important to have these methods under control to really take advantage of what can be done with a pick and to ensure that you are able to keep really steady time. A good picking technique lies at the base of everything else so it is important to spend the time to get it right.
Practice these techniques slowly at first and work your way up to ensure that you are developing them in the right fashion. Once you have them down by themselves, work on putting them together in natural situations, such as in chord arpeggios or scales. With these mastered, your alternate picking abilities should be able to handle any situation you come across on the guitar, all while maintaining a constant and steady stream of notes.
