@joost066 Depends on the gauge of your strings. I use Dunlop Ultex .73s. I hear a lot of people recommending heavier picks, but that just doesn't work for me. I also use custom gauge strings, 10-46s. I find the Ultex picks grip the best too. Tortex slip out of my fingers all the time.
It's usually down up down like an alternate picking but with a brief pause. I would suggest to use a metronome to really get it down tight.

@barneybud1 Don't tense up, grip pick too hard or dig into the string. Also, hold pick at a slight angle to help 'cut' through the string.

are you setting the tempo on the metronome by flicking on your guitar prior to starting playing? If so what metronome is that or processor?

No, I just do that to set my 'inner' metronome. It's good for gearing up, so to speak.
