Holding the pick.

[timryland]

Now that I have more time on my hands I’m playing, and enjoying it, more. One thing I’ve always struggled with is fast picking, like the Apache gallop or the start of Atlantis. This has made me look at how I hold the pick. Really up until now I’ve just picked it up and played, never really giving it a thought. I think one of my problems might be having too much of the point showing, and I think I may hold it at an angle pointing slightly up.

Any advice on how to hold it, and how much pick do you have showing.

Thanks,
Tim.

Then imagine how much quicker she'd be if she held the pick "properly".
