Re: tremolo issue
Tremolo is just difficult. I've been practicing a lot of double stop pieces in Rubner Petersens' Mando Pickers Guide (great book) tremolo. Pete Martin also has a good pdf on double stops you can use for this purpose
You have to relax the right hand while it's flying up and down, i think it's a little easier if you pick a little closer to the bridge for more string tension than you usually do. And there's one pick that makes it easier (actually one pick material), the casein ones by Red Bear, John Pearse, Papa's, Herve, and others.
(incidentally, since ethere's another Avi Avital thread, I absolutely cannot do tremolo the way he does, holding pick in thumb and index fingertips).
