I hold my pick with side of finger and thumb - no matter what size pick. As my goal in being at GMC is to one day shred with the best of them I've been focusing on speed by errr, ummm...not focusing on speed if you know what I mean.
So I've been playing scales like an insane person - scales scales and more scales - and last night had a breakthrough. They are just naturally getting faster as I commit them all to my muscle memory though I have not been using the metronome this past fortnight to push them along, I will start checking speeds again soon.
So anyway, I'm using Jazz III pick last night and suddenly my speed almost doubled! It was like a whole new world. I noticed I was holding the pick VERY lightly but the attack still had some punch.
I was soooo happy - it felt like I was flying!
