Hello all,
I’m having trouble with my picking technique and I can’t figure out what’s really wrong, I tried a lot of things and at this time I’ve got a hunch what it might be about. I think I maybe hold my pick weird, instead of having an even point with both sides sticking out evenly I hold it more tilted towards one side, see picture. I also included a video of me playing a technical solo and you can hear me struggling with the picking, maybe you guys gave some tips?
My questions :
- Is the way I hold my pick werid, should I try to relearn myself how to hold my pick?
- Any things you guys notice from the video on which my picking technique could improve?
- I wonder which pick might be best for technical picking, I’m now torn between 3 different kinds (I’ll include a picture). I mostly use a lot of different techniques which best compliments the part I play and my favourite way is mostly economic picking.
It would be great if @Troy or someone of the team could maybe give me some tips as well as you guys! Thanks in advance!

3 PICK CHOICES :
- Dunlop Jazz III (the famous small red pick)
- Dunlop 1,14 Gator Grip
- Gravity Striker standard 1,5 (a pick like frank gambale uses)
