    • @maynardburger
      @maynardburger Год назад +19

      Because he's not really changing up his technique much like a lot of people do. So many guitarists try and develop a 'trick' tremolo technique instead of just building up the speed of their traditional alternate picking. It's also why his sounds so much more precise than most, cuz he's not just blazing as fast as his hand/wrist can go, it's controlled. Obviously this is the harder way, requiring more effort and time, but it gets better results.
