Picking technique

[Jemwielder]

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.

Your shoulder? You must get pretty tensed up. Step 1) Relax /Step 2) Lots of practice /Step 3) Post in the correct forum.

Could it be the way you hold your guitar?

My God I hope so.

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

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.
