One is that he seems to have a very small, jazz-like pick in his hand as he plays. It doesn't appear to be a thick pick, either. Also, he moves up the fretboard with his right hand when he goes to play tremolo. It appears picks that are similar to those he uses are like the Pickboy mandolin (heart shaped?) picks. I think the smaller, pointed pick used up the neck increases ease of the pick's release from the strings to increase speed and smoothness of tremolo. What say ye?
