: : what is tremolo picking im doing this song called cold by AT THE GATES and i have o idea what tremolo picking is

: Umm...I can't say for sure, but it must invovle picking and working the tremelo bar at the same time. Hope this helps.

No, sorry, tremolo picking is fast picking of the same note up & down on the same string. It is done by curling the thumb inwards, and using the thumb & index finger to propel the pick, instead of the wrist, as it can not be done with the wrist. You also must choke up a little on the pick. Technically, you can tremolo pick different notes, as long as you fret & pick them on the same string. An ergonomist or physiologist/guitar player would know what I mean. I wonder how many of them are out there?
