yeah of course i'm learning other techniques and styles...
but this tremolo picking thing is the only thing at which i don't get better, so i wanted to concetrate on it for a while until i got it down. i don't want to learn to shred in a month, just want to get my right hand to be able to pick faster. i've learned to pick at 170 in a few weeks last year. and now i just wanted to get to 180 or 200. but it doesn't seem to work and i thoght i must be doing something wrong and so i asked my question here :-/ i practiced it for hours, tried to use the same motion when playing slow... even changed my picking techique a bit. now i'm getting a bit hopeless... but maybe it's just time and practicing everyday. in those videos i've seen of micheal angelo and others they just say something like "practice tremolo picking" but nobody tells me how to do it exactly so i thought must be doing it wrong. maybe somebody can describe it :)
