Re: Trem Picking Technique Tips

Dana and Roberta Vincent (dana_l_vincent) - 28 Dec 2001 17:49:35

Well, now that I have been educated on what "trem-picking" is (...duh...!!!), my
method is resting the palm on the bridge or guitar body, and using my wrist with
the pick at a slight angle. Since I don't pick this way through the whole song,
fatigue is not a problem. I also have learned to trem-pick while holding the
trem/vibrato/whammy bar/arm (...sorry, don't know what to call it now...!!!),
which is kind of a fun effect!
Best regards, Dana VIncent
