I have been YT/ online demoing all these different exotic amps over time and little flashes like this bring home how good a tone you can orchestrate just by applying yourself!
I do say though that The Tele and the Pignose are great to start with - it was this particular application that was the revelation.
What didn't set my soul alight, was the dialed down low-ish sound of the Tele into my Super Reverb... so is never a given that everything works with each other regardless.

I noticed on the Troy Grady vids, he calls it the "Batio arc". Where the player forms more of an arc (unsurprisingly enough) with the hand and wrist, and the picking motion comes more from the forearm muscles. Van Halen seems to use this technique when tremolo picking too.
I noticed on the Guthrie vid earlier that he doesn't do it, and he can certainly push the pace too. So clearly there is no ONE way of doing it.
I can tremolo pick pretty fast and don't stress or cramp up. I have not really analysed what I'm doing before, but it appears that I'm using the rotational forearm muscles, more than the muscles that rock your hand side to side. I'm ok for trem picking like this, but use the arc if I want extra motion and therefore a more pronounced pick attack.
Be careful if your getting tension though. It won't be doing you any good.

Unless your taking up the mandolin though, 20 seconds of trem picking should cover nearly everything you'd want to do, surely.
