The upstroke, which is the opposite. Tremolo picking is when you have a slight palm mute and picking one string at a time all the way down during a chord. There's fingerpicking, where some people either grow out their nails and use them as picks, or they get those picks that wrap around the fingers in order to get the dual-sounding picking normally associated with guitar gurus like Eric Clapton, Esteban and bluegrass banjo players. You have a wide spectrum of varieties and maybe you could make one particular style yours. Remember, playing an instrument will provide a lifetime of enjoyment. |
