Help Me Shred!


O.K so I'm average at guitar. I can't alternate pick all that fast (110 bpm-ish at 16ths) and I'm just learning to do basic 3 string sweeps. I can tap fast and quite fluiently.

My question is this. Angelo tells us to play slow as you would fast, i.e tremello pick style slowed down. Now I can tremelo with two fingers (P and I), but can do it faster and more acuratly with three fingers (P,I and M). However when I'm practasing I find three fingers holding the pick can get in the way changing strings and also I've noticed very few shredders using 3 fingers.

So should I just start using two and work speed and acurasy up again?

Infact will I ever be able to shred? I can't see the light at the end of the tunnel and it makes me sad. Any general pointers would be nice.
