Picking technique


Recently my teacher pointed out that my shouler was tensing up when I picked fast. I was wondering what peoples picking techniques were like and if anyone knew any decent solutions to this problem.

Re: Picking technique


Yeah, you pretty much just have to relax and let it flow. Don't try and force it with your arm.

Re: Picking technique


Lots of people pick angry. That slows you and it is less accurate. Remember let your anger be a red balloon and let it foat away. Floating...floating..
Ok I know it doesn't work.
Just relax.
