Here's a question: Does everyone pick with the pointed edge of most of what's pictured in this thread, or do you rotate it for different effects? I'm told I have an "odd" picking style due to that and the fact that I alternately hold the pick sideways, or like I hold a pencil. The sideways thing I got from checking out George Lynch back in the day, the pencil-thing just feels natural, just kind of evolved that way. But the rotation thing allows greater ease of artificial harmonics on the plain strings, and also the ability to get that effect on partial chords too, which is fun...
As far as the EVH thumb+middle finger grip, it's reserved for tapping, IMO...
When you're picking, you have the thumb & index/middle finger holding the pick. What about the other fingers?
Do you curl them up like making a relaxed fist, or do you leave them extended, like making a OK handsign?Last edited by Coyote; 03-26-2011, 07:54 PM.Why settle for something you have, if it's not as good as something you're out to get?

Personally, I pick with the tip, albeit at a lesser angle than the "pencil grip".

I found if I used a medium pick and choked up of it, it would act like a heavier pick and if I held it towards the back it was like a lighter pick. I vary how much pick I hold all the time and sometimes I use the pointed end and sometimes I use the round edge. An .80 to .90 is what I like.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment
