Now i use this holding type for faster licks.And i can play those licks way better than before Does anybody have had an experience like this besides me? And this is my pick.Sexy,isn't it?

The same concept works for pick thickness too, but then things start to come down to personal preference. When you're playing something quickly, keeping the area exposed to a comfortable minimum is a must. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Gilbert says after 8 years of his style of picking, he found a better way without straining his hand. Yup/ But In my case, I had to experiment quite many ways of picking and how to hold it. I haven't yet found the perfect way but at times, it feels like the pick rested on the hand perfectly and I do not want to move it. Alas, I can't pick now as my right thumb cut in an accident and have to rest for 4 more weeks. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I too have found that sometimes when I'm showing less of the pic, I too play more accurately, maybe a bit faster. Nothing dramatic though, but I guess I'll keep trying!
