As a lover of black metal, trem picking is a crucial thing to learn. Now I just to learn how to become Norwegian.

This. But I think not being Norwegian has its benefits. You don't need to become a murderer (or murder victim) to be recognized. :) I prefer a chill life with brutal music.

In my experience this is the most accurate video out there on the subject. I got nowhere trying tremolo picking slowly, form the wrist and without any tension. I found my own way to this advice through trial and error, and it was the only approach that worked. Sometimes my arm is more relaxed than others, but some tension is part of it.

I tried to always stay relaxed during my fast tremolo picking and ended up with the habit of anchoring with my pinky. It works well for me, but I think it's probably something I need to kick - or at least develop both techniques.

Anchoring with fingers isn’t bad despite what some people will try to tell you. Most things that people believe are “bad” when it comes to guitar playing actually aren’t.

Jason Becker anchored his pinky and he was incredibly accurate and fast. I think it’s a matter of whether it works for you or not.

anchoring actually gives stability. Don't take everything as pure gold on youtube.

this has to be my favourite guitar technique, and here's a tip for how I starter praticing it: at first, I couldn't play many black metal riffs (and didn't knew many as well), so I starter playing everything in tremolo. some songs sounded great, others like garbage, but it's besides the point, this way I improved in a few weeks more than the month before, not because it was a magical secret or other bullshit, but because I spent more time actually practicing the technique instead of finding and learning riffs (which is good too, and I still do it, off course, but if you want to learn a technique fast, it's better to focus in a single thing at a time)

You’re giving bad advice. Chris Brooks would like to have a word with you. He uses his wrist not his arm. So do many other players that I don’t even want to waste my time naming because you won’t look them up anyway. You don’t have to use your arm. You can but you don’t have to. The more you tens up whether or not you use your arm the sloppier it sounds (like your tremolo, which sounds sloppy bc you’re tense). The most important fact you missed is that if you want to tremolo pick you have to make sure you don’t pick too deeply. If you use too much pick you’ll get stuck on the string and use more tension at higher speeds. You’re doing that. It’s audible. Instead of a nice clicking sound from the tip of the pick hitting the strings you get a lot of extra noise from the flat side of the pick pushing the string out of the way. If you want to know if you’re a good tremolo picker get a Dunlop sharp pick (1.5m) and see for yourself. I’ll tell you right now you’ll have issues because the pick won’t allow you to use more than the tip. And you’re using more than the tip. And no, sir, injury is not a result of tremolo picking. If you do it right you can play tremolo indefinitely without any issue and drink a cup of coffee with your other hand. You should spend some time with great metal players because they do nothing but tremolo pick. You really should stop giving advice in areas you have no expertise in.

Where's your training video?

@chriswalton3383 2 жыл бұрын

You can get tennis elbow from tensing your arm during tremelo picking. You need to be as relaxed playing fast to playing slow. I'm not an expert though! I've been playing for 30 year's though, so I have a little experience in the subject.

@R17759 2 жыл бұрын

If done incorrectly yes. But Rusty Cooley, John Taylor (mile high shred on KZbin), Vinnie Moore, etc. all use elbow and don’t have issues with it.

@@R17759 yea but they stay calm. The guy in the video is tensing up.

@exurosanctus 8 ай бұрын

Yes, telling people to tense your body is never the answer. If a black metal musician used this much tension he would be needing surgery.

3:39 alright Sir, but Is there a way to reach such Speed with increased tension without damaging your arm?

@chrisking6695 Жыл бұрын

Yea. Stay loose. Don’t pick to deeply. Hold the pick lightly. Find out what motion you like (pick away from the body or toward the body or parallel to the bod. Pick with your arm or arm and wrist)

Hey Mike When you're playing that fast scale run, your left arm still looks pretty tense. I can't make sense of it. Does it just *look* tense but it's really not?
