What secondary motion is this?

Technique Critique
#1

I’m predominantly an upwards slanter, but I’ve been playing closer attention to what exactly I’m doing and there are bits where I change strings on upstrokes which usually feel a lot better going from a higher string to a lower (“outside picking”). I think what I’m doing is mostly a secondary wrist turn into a downward slant as a secondary motion, was hoping someone else could take a look.

Thanks!

I’m seeing a good amount of finger involvement, you can see the joint angles change in your index and thumb quite clearly.

I was sort of wondering if that’s what it was. I guess I might be the odd duck there.

I don’t think it’s that odd. I do it a good amount if you look at some of my videos, and I’ve seen others on the forum also use finger motions.
