Since buying the pickslanting primer, I’ve always found it amazing that Troy can get such a clean downstroke escape with minimal pronation and without the side of his thumb resting on the strings. I’ve also noticed that a lot of the players he films doing DSX (such as Andy Wood) never seem to have the side of their thumb rest against the strings.
Maybe it’s just the way my wrist works, or the fact I use the small Jazz III picks, I’m not sure. The only way I’ve ever been able to get DSX feeling natural is with the side of my thumb resting on the strings. I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad thing, it’s just an observation, and was wondering if anyone else has had this.
