Hi mate! Thanks for your info.
I've watched the video about your pick issue. There are some ideas that come to mind which you could try and see how it results. - The first one is holding your pick using the part of the fingers which is closer to the tips. I mean something like this: Like this: instead of this: - Secondly, try to hold it stronger. Just by now, until the problem disappears. - Finally try other type of picks. With more grid, smaller (jazz style), or something like this: LINK Try these ideas and let me know what happens. You can use this lesson to experiment: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Picking-Hand-Basics/ -------------------- My lessons

Thanks Gabriel. I watch out video and it is quite useful. However, i think my problem is my index. It is not fixed when I hold pick and hit the string. The slight movement of my index make me not hold pick tightly. I still try but I haven't thought how to my index not moving. Do you have any idea or exercises to solve it. Thank you. |

Hi mate, the movement must be from your wrist, and there shouldn't be fingers movement when playing alternate picking. The key is to start the movement a bit from your elbow, but focus it on your wrist.
I think that the best would be to focus on this stuff, try the grid picks, and experiment working on alternate picking lessons. The Picking right hand basics is a good choice. I would like to see a vid of you playing that, with a camera view on your left hand. Is it possible? -------------------- My lessons
