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?

For someone just starting out, is it a good idea to go ahead and hold it as described and get used to it?
Right now I'm trying it but since I'm still relatively new I'll probably have to have my pinky on the bridge as an anchor (as KRmachine described). -------------------- If you expect a kick in the balls and get a slap in the face, consider it a victory.
My setup (just started): ESP LTD MH-100QMNT Fender Champ 30W (used) |
