Question regarding sweeps and inside/outside picking

[Buffalo Soldier]

ok i've been wondering which way has been correct.

 

e--5------------------------5-------------

b-----6------------------6-----------------

g--------5------------5--------------------

d------------7-----7-----------------------

a---------------8-------------------------

e----------------------------------------

 

ok........fmaj arpegio.

 

now my question is.......when coming down from the sweep inbetween the lower F and A (7th and 8th fret) would i continue sweeping up right til the low F? then there'll be a little inside of the strings motion as i sweep with the downstroke inbetween the A and D strings.

 

or would i sweep up.....until the A(7th fret) then basically outside pick and continue back sweeping down from the 8th fret F.

 

there'll be the same issue when if i continue the pattern on when returning back to the high e string.

 

i prefer inside picking.......and i set up most of my licks for inside picking......but im wondering if i should be doing it the other way?

 

is my question making sense.........maybe i didn't explain it well.

I would sweep up until the F, then pick down skipping the F. The illistration below shows what I mean. The first group of notes and played with an upstroke then the rest and played with a down stroke.

Hope this helps

I think 'correct' would be a function of context, phrasing and the like. Pianists often distinguish between redundant fingerings for the subtle articulative variations they provide.
Practice both ways.
