Where to begin with my problems with this technique… as a rhythm guitarist I have found myself struggling with this aspect of my playing for a while, especially alternating between the two. I have several questions about this area which I would greatly appreciate some assistance on.
1) How do I stop my pick from slipping from my hand when downpicking or tremolo picking?
2) How do I prevent my arm and hand from getting tired when downpicking? Does your hand naturally get stronger overtime, or do I need to relax it more? Where is the best pivot point for these techniques
3) What sort of angle does my pick need to be when tremolo picking? I find that when it’s flat against the strings I end up missing a beat and doing 2 consecutive downpicks.
These are my biggest struggles at the moment, and I may have more in the future. Any tips will be greatly appreciated!
