Looking for advice on pick grip for fast alternate/tremolo picking

I’m trying to improve my picking speed, and I’m wondering if my pick grip could be holding me back.

I’m mainly talking about two types of playing:

• Fast tremolo/alternate picking during solos and scale runs
• Extremely fast rhythm picking on the low strings, like the main riff in Metallica’s Battery.

Picture 1 is my current pick grip. Picture 2 is another grip I’ve been experimenting with, where I hold the pick differently. I would ideally like a grip that I don't have to constantly change depending on what I'm doing. But maybe that's necessary.

For those of you who play this type of stuff at high speeds, is one of these grips generally better for developing speed and consistency? Or is pick grip mostly personal preference as long as you’re able to stay relaxed and get efficient pick movement?

I’m wondering if changing my grip now would be worthwhile, or if I should just stick with my current grip and work on my picking technique.

First 7 String! Second Strandberg! Absolutely fell in love with Strandberg after I got my essential. Saw this bad boy come out and knew I HAD TO HAVE IT! Can’t say much about it right now as I haven’t had too much time to play it. But I LOVE the all black and it feels like a beast in my hands. I love how the knobs feel and the pickup selector feels very crispy. The pickups look great and sound pretty good but I haven’t dived to deep into the different voicing’s yet. I’d love a little guide on how to use them and what they do if anyone can help.

Would love to hear what people think about this guitar!

I’m finally letting go of my prized Airsoft gun after not getting much use out of it. I’m slowly stepping away from the sport, so it’s time for someone else to enjoy it.

This build has had no expense spared. Virtually every component has been upgraded, and all gearbox work was professionally completed by an experienced technician.

The gun has only been used in 2 or 3 sessions, so it’s in excellent condition.

Performance is incredible. It has an adjustable hair trigger that can be tuned to your preference, and the trigger response and shooting experience feel very similar to an HPA setup, without the extra weight or hassle of carrying a tank and backpack.

If you’re looking for a high-end AEG that’s ready to compete, this is it.

+I have lots of PTS mags and other Airsoft goodies that can be included for a negotiable price.

I feel like it's the MAF Sensor. The car just randomly dies while idling. Sometimes it happens while driving, and the car won't accelerate. Or it does this weird thing where it just idles at a very low rpm and sounds like it's about to die. I had the MAF Sensor engine light pop up a while ago, and I "cleaned it," and it hasn't happened since then. Also, no engine light this time around. But I feel like it might be the MAF still. Any ideas? Thanks!

Can't wait to have more space eventually, but this is the best I can do with the space I have.
