QUOTE (TheReturnFC-Ibanez @ Sep 28 2007, 12:47 PM)  Well guys and my dear friends,  after a while of Alternate picking...  I found that my right hand holding the pick is kind of loose....  I don't know how do you guys hold the pick?  When I try to hold it more tide... i found that my right hand get too fast and the sound come too bad ... I mean out of control! When I'm lazy I hold it sightly loose.... I also want to know about kind of picks and thickness of them which works better on your opinion and why as well.. Which works for high techniques! Thank there I'm open for all answer and personal aspects!    I hold it between the tip of the thumb and the side of the index finger, which I curl in so I keep the upper joint in parallell with the thumb. I use minimum 1 mm picks. Grip is neither lazy nor too firm. -------------------- My bands homepage

Hmm.. I cant advice you much on pick holding, cos mine is bad too:-D Check pavels Ionan scale speedpicking, and (i guess its video 3) in one of these videos, you can easily see the right way to hold the pick.
About thickness... it depends on you.. Anyways, I started at .55, but it was like playing with two sheets of paper.. so I grabbed yellow tortex ('round .75), inspired by Matt of Muse. But after month of practicing speed picking - I play with angle, when playing fast - the sides of my pick were like turned inside - shaped by that playing. So i decided to play with 1mm. Now there is a slight wear & tear visible on this pick, so I will go on even higher thickness:-D So IMO, its about trial and failure to get your own ideal pickness.. We all are looking for ourselves.. and for our pick all our lives:-D -------------------- my youtube account with riffs and ideas: https://www.youtube.com/user/Phoenygzus
