Okay, time for a little tremolo picking exercise w my good friends, The Flowerpot Men

[GAS Man]

First position (cowboy chords)

 

Am

Em

C

Am

 

and repeat

 

Tremolo picking on the A, D, G strings only. Simple - but smooth, on beat, not missing a beat, execution is another story.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off

[GAS Man]

There was tremolo picking in that song?

 

Maybe the term "alternate picking" would be preferable?

 

A 1,2

D 1, 2

G 1,2,1,2

 

repeat.

 

Now I learned this song years ago (nearly 20 ago) and I thought I was hearing delay. Instructor said, nope, it's picked.

It's one of my favorite annoying trivia questions to ask.

Yeah, I think it's just alternate picked. I think trem picking is when you pick a note continuously as fast as you possibly can. Almost sounds like one continuous note.



ROFL!!! This guy just tremolo picked all over her ****!!!

I'll make "tremolo picking amends" by posting this one then.
