Downpick

Outstanding selections include a knuckle-busting medley ("Chilly Winds-Old Joe Clark-Salt River- Johnny Bring the Jug Around the Hill") played in the bright, aggressive downpick clawhammer style of Wade Ward.

Use all downpicks to get a more hard-driving sound.

When there is an even number of notes, you must begin with the downpick and then alternate each note.

“When I was playing with James Hetfield in Metallica,” Dave says, “we pretty much decided that rhythm guitar should be downpicking when it comes to pedaling, until it's so fast that you can't downpick anymore..."

Well, that is only a half-truth, as Mr. Steele also downpicked, that is, trailed.
