Hey guys, enjoying this forum. I’ve been playing for 25 years now and recently signed up because I have changed my picking technique as of last week from and anchored pick hand to a floating style, and I am struggling. This website has made me understand things about my own technique that I had been doing (pickslanting) but not even realizing. I changed my RH technique because it wasn’t consistent always on the lower bass strings for me, and I found myself not attacking as much as I would like from the wrist of my pick hand.I have found that the last 25 years of playing with an anchored pick hand, my DWPS would kick in subconsciously while doing quick runs.
My question is simple. Is pickslanting something guys do while playing rhythm or is it primarily for lead? I’ve noticed when I apply it to riffs, it compromises the sound a lot. I guess my question is from Mr Grady… do you find yourself pickslanting while playing riffs and rhythm guitar?
