tremolo pick q

[English Enigma]

Hi all, when i tremolo pick the low e string for such music as slayer's war ensemble, i cant complete more than 5 picks before it starts sounding crap and totally wrong.

Is there any tips for this technique?, ive read many lessons on it but still cant grasp it,

ps. I use a very flexible pick, would this make it harder?

YES. Switch to a heavy as soon as possible.

cheers , i'll give it a go with a heavier pick

I had a tremolo picking problem too, a few days ago infact.

How did I get rid of this tremolo picking problem?

Also, make sure that you are only using your wrist, you are holding the pick correctly and your whole arm is relaxed (especially shoulder).

i use Dunlop Tortex picks.
i love them
i use the green and blue. (the heaviest ones)
i have also used one of those insanely thick picks with the divot in it for your thumb. its like purple.
has anyone ever used one of those?

I don't like those...too thick...no give whatsoever...hard to play with, although I imagine they're great for clean Jazz lead.

If you're talking about the clear purple ones, that's all I use anymore. I'm working on Eugene's Bag Trick and it's the most comfortable (not to memtion lightest) pick I could find
