I've long noticed how awkward it feels to be skipping from, say E to D and picking it with an upstroke, or when going to a lower string it's much easier to go two upstrokes. It's also clear that as long as you manage to get the sound you want it doesn't really matter how you do it. So it all perfectly makes sense. It's just that there are some proved methods people would be taught, considered most handy. So when I posted I was looking to a classic interpretation of pick dealing with this line.
