Here is an example to make my point. Obviously as soon as you showed me the technique the tremolo picking appeared but the reason it hit home so strongly was I had been trying to get this one particular lick down off and on for about a year and I barely even sniffed it. As soon as you said lift your wrist up a little and attack with a little of the edges I did that lick! The lick is the muted tremelo picking in that Commander Cody song Hot Rod Lincoln, it's a fun lick, do you know it. Anyways thanks John! P.S. It also immediately improved my strumming. Thanks for making it more fun.
