Miserlou is a great one to start with because you have to double
pick on your heaviest and lightest string. I don't think starting
on a light set of strings is a good idea at all. Your eventually
going to get good at this and out grow the light strings(I don't
think I could double pick as well on my James Burton guitar then the
way I do on my Jaguars).
I've used an assortment of flatwound string brands, and Fender Heavy
picks, don't worry so much about you picks either, just select
something that isn't going to flop around you. I like the Fenders
because they are cheap, and once you start double picking efficently
you're going to melt them all down anyway.
Stand up when you practice, when I first started I found I could
double pick longer when I'd transfer my wrist motion up to my arm,
then my arm would fatigue and I'd transfer it back down to my
wrist. It's really hard to explain. But now I've found a "sweet
spot" inbetween and never tire.
