ok when u guys shred where is the base of your hand?

I mean do u guys put the base of your palm behind the bridge or do u let your hand float above the strings or what

and do u death grip your pick or put it in the end of your finger tips

I keep my hand perpendicular to the bridge, not above it.
ive found that for a good tremolo pick, choke way up on the pick and only leave a little exposed

I keep it lightly over the bridge so I can roll my palm forward to palm mute if needed.My pick is consistantly between both humbuckers at all times though...its hell trying to get into it when you keep scuffing a middle single coil.
Try once,fail twice...

I play with the pick somewhere near the neck pickup but usually between the two for the best sound. My hand I guess falls about the bridge, and usually I get my hand perpendicular to the strings. And sort of alternate the angle of the pick depending on whether it's an up r down stroke to get a smoother sound.
