Unlocking Tremolo (8 OCT '22)

Description

I'm starting with an upstroke here, as that feels more relaxed to me. That makes this DSX picking (I think!) which is new to me as a conscious technique, though I now realize that some things I came up with over the years (that worked at tempo) were played this way without me realizing it was not what I normally do. Although this seems smoother than my usual attempts at tremolo, I think something's still missing. AM I ON THE RIGHT TRACK? WHAT DO I NEED TO FOCUS ON NOW??? Background: 64, been playing for decades. Always had picking problems and I've tried lots of different picks and grips over the years. Now I'm thinking my problems were all in the wrist. (Doh!) Speed would be great but more than anything I want smooth consistency. (I think if I get that, speed will follow.)
