well. kris.. im a beginner,so i watched some of ur beginner lessons..

and u said pick should be holded by some angles...

well.. i tried and im trying .. but i cant get any loud sounds from angle holded..

well, i can get loud sounds from very thin picks..

but i cant get loud sounds from like just picks.. or some heavy picks...

what should i do?



and one more question..

what pick do you use ?

I use black jazz 3 picks:



What do you mean when you say you wnat to achieve a loud note? Do you mean an artificial harmonic?

Perhaps you mean that it doesn't sound good when you angle the pick - are you perhaps angling to much, or attempting to play a little too fast?

Kris

well. never mind...

i have no idea why i couldnt do that, but for some reason, now i can...

and is this the one u use ??

im going to try it out .

Hey Kris,
I have the same problem as peterorg54 describes....
and i can go pretty fast with playing the normal way( with that i mean the way that i am used to) but when i angle the pick my finger hits the string too....
and i have another question: should you keep your wrist hand leaning on the guitar or should it be hanging in the air somewhere in front of the guitar?

Thanks,
Lester

I think themain guideline should be to strive for whatever way that allows you to play relaxed and comfortable.

The picking licks which I can play relaxed are the ones I can use when improvising. The other ones are a part of my practice routine...

Strive for relaxation - sounds pretty good doesn't it...?

Kris

That sure does sounds good
thanks for the help AND for the site, i did not know i could improve that fast

hehe you use the same pick as micael angeo batio:D:D

he is fast. but is it a good pick thou??

I used the Jaz 3's for a bit but im still abit clumbsy so hit my fingers on the strings when playing, I find The Dunlop Nylon picks have the same feel but abit larger.

but u are lucky guys becouse when i'm trying do the right angle like kris here

im heard like 100% more bad sound till i'm do that bacward but i'm don't wanna do bacward becouse thats gonna damage my thumb and also i'm don;t like it

but i'm kind of lost becouse i'm do try like thousand ways and holding positions but the angle still sound more bad like the backward angle

i'm buy the jazz 3 pick..thats cool pick but hes kind of smaal{the power chords make me trouble}...but after couple day i'm ok with him

i'm find so cool look pick http://www.wirething.com/press/wirething-hi-res.jpg

but the pick probaly gonna destroy the string

I play two ways with my pick these days, when I'm doing faster alternate picking I feel its easier to switch to Pavel's fist method with the minimum amount of wrist movement possible, but when I'm doing more rhythmic chords and power chords etc I feel it more comfortable to use the method Kris does in that video.

I cant use the really stubby/really thin plectrums these days - I much prefer 1.14mm dunlops although thin picks helped me out in the beginning to get the wrist movement right!
