Gypsy picking even notes

opus20000

I've gotten fairly comfortable with gypsy picking over the last year, however one area of difficulty for me, oddly enough, is picking even notes, namely groupings of four, i.e. the pseudo chromatic scale or the famous Django- Mozart step up step down arpeggio lick.
Any advice?

Metronome. SLOW. Not at all easy, boy do I know

When I switched from alternate to down stroke I spent the first several months playing everything downstroke only. One of the most difficult things is to play 2 downstrokes in a row at speed smoothly
