I feel your pain, double thumb can really be a pain in the arse, but once you get the feel of the movement it really becomes easier. There is probably nothing more that I can tell you about it that you don't already know, but pretty much just try to use your thumb as a pick and take it as slow as you need to.


Here goes a pretty decent vid on it for you: [Link]

What helped me is tilting my hand... instead of having your thumb parallel with the string... tilt it upwards toward your head... slightly...

I ran into a ton of blood and blisters with this tech. and found that this is the most comfortable and easiest way to do it...

that's all I can tell you... just keep on doing it slow (perfectly... cause perfect practice makes perfect) and work your way up
