GMC Forum _ PRACTICE ROOM _ Speed Picking

Posted by: r1ch4rdh Apr 7 2007, 10:50 AM

Iv been practising speed picking, but when holding my pick at an angle the notes i play never sound clearly likethey do when i pick flat on. I cant decide if this the angle im holding the pick at (about 30-45 degrees off flat), the way i hold my pick (do you hold with the tip of the index finger or around the first nuckle) or the type of pick im using (I use one of the 1.14 Tortex Dunlop picks)

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I use the same pick you do, and I feel exactly the same way, but only when I play standing up.
