First post here. Even after playing for 30 years I am still figuring things out.
I tend to dig my right palm into the top of the guitar (above the strings) and use it as an anchor. It works for DSX the problem is I have to come from the the other angle (below the strings) for USX:
DSX - 2’s (with 4’s at the top E and bottom E to maintain DSX)

USX - 2’s
Here on the 3’s I have to switch between DSX and USX each string
With the Gilbert 6’s I am much faster descending with my palm anchoring my hand in at the top than I am ascending when I can’t anchor my hand above the strings or it would mute them (I think)
So any and all suggestions welcome. I’m trying to figure out the most efficient place to Position my hand for USX and DSX, pick grip, wrist/arm motion, etc.
**Jumping back in forth between anchoring my palm above the strings for DSX and the Anchoring my fingers below the strings for USX is a bit drastic and is slowing me down (I think)
I’m also trying to build speed and efficiency.
Thank you to the guys who run this site and to everyone on this forum. I’m excited to take my playing to another level. Thanks.
