Re: Trem Picking Technique Tips

bighollowtwang - 25 Dec 2001 22:08:49

I always use .13 to .56 flatwounds, I think heavy strings are really
important for a hard, even, fast double-picking approach.
I started out using those massive purple 3mm thick picks but
eventually switched to .78s (better tone).
I hold my pick without any angle towards the string, I pick really
hard. I use a combination of wrist, forearm, and upper arm muscles.
When I started out I used my wrist and/or elbow and all I got was
tired and cramped.
Really important to use the right muscles, otherwise you burn
yourself out.

See this post in context.
