Trem picking is picking one or more strings in (very) rapid succession. Takes a lot of time and practice to become decently comfortable with, at least in my experience.

Yep, dl0571 is correct. It has nothing to do with a trem bar.

"Everybody got to elevate from the norm."
i just played a cool spanish song called "malagunia" and i had to tremolo pick the first string througout most of it. it is hard, i won't lie, but all it takes is slow practice... if you can do it slowly and make it sound nice it's relitively easy to accelerate. well, more then just trying to start blazing off.
i see thanks
Is this the song you were playing Malaguena? After seeing Jose Feliciano play it I think I just became a fan.
Misirlou (aka pulp fiction theme) is another good example of tremelo picking, of as said before, practice at a slow pace, plyaing it right, and in no time at all you'll be able to play it at full speed, or dare I say faster...

Here it is Misirlou by the master himself.
And here's a lesson on playing "surf style" that can get you on the road to trem picking.
After a bit of searching, I found this lesson on Misirlou at Fender Players Club.
Tremolo on!
I wrapped a newspaper ’round my head
So I looked like I was deep
Very cool technique that can add very "atmospheric" guitar.

I saw a video demonstrating trem picking on you tube thanks for the info!
