Re: tremelo picking

Alexander Thorburn Hoffman (indiglowblue) - 09 Apr 2005 13:36:57

I've recently been able to get double picking down. If you are able
to double pick for a few seconds then..I think you just need to
practice. At first I couldn't keep up or my hand would strain and I
would have to stop. I don't know if it helps but I tend to pick at an
angle...meaning I don't hold the pick parallel to the strings. I tend
to have it at a slight angle so I can effectively pick down and up
without having to adjust the pick each time. It'd say it's somewhere
bewteen being 0 and 45 degrees... I don't know if it will help or
not, but I'm sure you'll get the hang of it in time.
