if it feels weird then maybe you need to practice it
alternate picking is not used all the time

Thanks for clarifying it
Will do!
To be honest, I’ve been using alternate picking all the time.

its just like strumming you need to practice different patterns
practice what you re not good at , not what you ve already mastered

I feel like putting the tab up on screen would also help me understand better than just explaining it and showing the finger placements. Good explanation tough.

The TAB Bill2009 posted sounds like the recording, and if you play Justin’s TAB, you’ll have no problem with Bill’s. I love this song, always have. Got to see Cream April 6, 1968 at the Commodore Ballroom in Lowell, Mass. I remember it like it was yesterday, doesn’t seem so long ago. If you aren’t familiar with the song, put it on a loop in YouTube and you’ll quickly get the rhythm in your head.

This doesn’t really work with alternate picking as the rhythm of the notes in the riff do not follow a consistent pattern. They are syncopated.
Also, you want to play it with all Downs to get an aggressive attack on every note.
