I have no problems playing palm muted power chords with all down strokes, but I struggle with the up-stroke when I try to play fast.

With my palm on the strings my pick is angled slightly down, which works good for the down stroke, but not so good for the up stroke. It feels awkward trying to get the pick angled for the upstroke.

Any suggestions? A good example song is Self Esteem by Offspring. I watched the video and it seems he is doing all down stokes, which is a bit too fast for me....or maybe I just need to increase my down stroke speed!

Thx.
