Any shredders out there have any difficulty tremelo picking on the bottom E string? For some reason i just cant do it, i have to use legato whenever i want to shred on it.
I think its a combination of two things:
1)The obvious higher string guage which makes it hard to just glaze over the string without forcing the plectrum trough
2)and secondly the fact that there is no string lying on the near side, which i think makes me tilt my hand over so im picking more upwards into it, rather than across it on the same plane i would pick the other strings. (very hard to explain)
Anyone else have these problems? Im trying to correct it by tremlo picking on the A string for a while (just keeping to one fret, my left hand isnt the problem) and then moving to the bottom E and trying to keep the exact same action.
