I'd curl my index up, but that's me.
Here's an oldie on the subject. https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...t=0&start=0 This post has been edited by MickeM: Feb 16 2009, 06:36 PM -------------------- My bands homepage

Yeah, maybe curled index is what you should try as well,
rest of it looks pretty normal and fine to say the least.

The only "wrong" way of holding a pick would be a way that feels uncomfortable for you. Aside from this, there is no wrong or right way of holding a pick, as I said before already, just pay attention to how all of the instructors here are holding their picks, you will see that we are not holding them in the same way.

QUOTE (Becks @ Feb 17 2009, 04:15 AM) Yeah i have tried that the past few days. But my finger always straitens out...its so annoying. Maybe i just need to force it there for a while till i get used to it. The best way to transfer to a different picking technique is through practice. Just focus on keeping the index curled a bit when practicing, and it will eventually start to curl while you play as well. BTW I can't really say for sure that the index finger is your problem. It could be that you are simply keeping your muscles tight while picking, which can lead to a fast tiredness of the hand. Remember to always keep the picking hand relaxed and flowing. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

Try playing rhythm and solo stuff and look for option that works for both.

Try some different picks also... I like DAVA master control picks
they have your thumb fit in a groove in the pick, very comfortable http://www.davapick.com/ --------------------  |

There is no wrong way but if you're sored is because you're putting too much strenght and that's bad because you have to play the more relaxed you can.
