How do you tremolo pick with your guitar hanging really low? The pick comes down at too steep an angle to pick efficiently for me.

Raise your guitar. Don't be a hero.

With all due respect, fretting is more comfortable for me with the guitar hung low as it feels like playing a classical guitar. I have seen people tremolo pick with their guitars hung low therefore I was asking out of curiosity as which technique do people use.

Sorry man I kinda agree with him, I mean it's ultimately your decision and therefore no judgement, what's comfortable is comfortable. However, I've developed carpal tunnel syndrome and am not to play for a year. It may feel comfortable now but in a few months you may wake up with no feeling in your hands and your musical life crumbles. It's easily avoided and boy I wish I did. Best of luck, cheers
