double picking

Alex Hoffman (indiglowblue) - 13 Jan 2004 23:00:43

Hi everyone...
I'm new to this forum, as well to the guitar (since august 2003). I
have a Squier Strat. I don't have a teacher or anything other than
that fender book that came with it. Surf Guitar is also fairly new to
me. After looking for advice on double picking and trying multiple
ways, I found I could do it better (better meaning...I can do it at
all) by holding the pick diagonally to the strings instead of
perpendicular, cause I was just some how not good with strumming
up...anyway other than noisier picking, I find this is the best way
for me to double pick. I also recently found out how to use the
tremolo bar...
anyway... I was wondering if anyone could give me any advice on my
picking technique, and what elements are necessary for a surf tune.
Thanks a lot,
-Alex
