A short bit on Tripping Billies solo (Storytellers)

I'm warning you, though. It's really short.
There's a point where Tim is tremelo picking and just nonchalantly plucking his fingers down. It sounds really cool. So here is my attempt at it. As for the rest of the solo... ???

Tremelo pick this with your middle finger (left hand)
E:---0--
B:--10--
G:------
D:------
A:------
E:------

then using your index, ring, and pinky plunk down in this pattern

E:---9--10---12
B:--10--10--10
G:--------------
D:--------------
A:--------------
E:--------------

I realize that that is VERY short, but thought that I'd pass it along.

I take every gif I watch (which is A LOT) with a humongous grain of salt. But I don't let that grain of salt get into my eye and blind me to whatever truth can be found in what I'm watching. He is not any worse than any other poster here, and the people who claim he is just don't know what they're talking about. The demonization has gotten ridiculously out of hand.

Tremelo picking is just really fast picking/strumming....almost like a continuous sound.
