    Picking Technique

    Thanks, guys! I already have a few jazz sized picks the thickness I like, so I’ll definitely use them. Overall my wrist is really tense, yes. As of picking floating that’s something that seems to make my picking even more all over the place, so if that’s a bad thing I’d prefer to refrain from...

    I’ll record something tomorrow,as I have to leave in a bit. I do pick from the wrist, I just don’t think I’m holding the pick right.

    So I’ve been trying to improve my picking techniquethe past few days, because I’m a circle-picker, which restricts me eventually. So I’ve followed the lesson on how to hold a pick, and I can’t seem to get it right. My fingers always slide over the strings, which doesn’t feel very pleasant. At...
