Tremolo
picking is a
technique used by
guitarists to play
notes on one string very quickly.
This is done by moving the pick back and forth over a string
repeatedly.
Here are some tips to do this most
effectively:
1. Use your arm for the movement, not your wrist.
2. Turn your pick at a slight angle with your thumb so it will glide easier over the string.
3. Use only 1
mm or less on the tip of the pick for the best speed and least amount of scraping
noise, this is most helpful when you are using a lot of
distortion in your sound as noises can quickly
diminish your
tone.
When notated (
notation) in
tablature it looks like 3 diagonal slashes through the
stem of the note.
