Could someone eventually post a picture (better a small video) of him strumming a simple pattern? I'm struggling with that, because I loose my pick quite often when strumming a faster pattern.

Straight angle is the best way to go in my opinion! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
