Im learning one by metallica and am at the main solo. Does anyone have any advice on tapping using the edge of your pick?

Keep the pick as close to the fretboard as possible, if you want an amazingly fast trill. Satch uses this technique occasionally too.

make sure you hit the string hard with the pick. The heavier the pick, the easier it is to do.

I'm having difficulty with the tapping part too. Kirk taps 8 times a second
I can tap that fast with the pick, but I just can't do 8 pull-offs in a second!

Is it even done with pulloffs?

You tap the 19, then pulloff 15 to 12.

If that makes since.

that solo just takes experimenting and practice.
eventually, you will just be able to get it.
