I was wondering how everyone here holds their picks. I hold mine in my own way, but that might not be the best for speed. Could anyone show me a different way to hold it?

It's not really important how you hold the pick, the most important is that you feel confortable. There are a lot of guitarrists that hold the pick with a horrible position, for instance Marty Frieman, hehehe, and that's not a problem for their picking.
You can see these video of my friend Toni Lloret (http://www.tonilloret.net/). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3M64tpyluNg (Toni is a great guitar player from Spain, but it isn't his best video XD, but for this question is interesting) -------------------- |

Been there, done that, held it the wrong way for years and years and thought it was right. But I felt staggered and changed my way of picking, very uncomfortable at first but after a while I noticed speed and accuracy increased enormously! I have posted a picture of my holding the pick somewhere, anyone who's eager will surely find it. -------------------- My bands homepage
