For those interested. Brian Setzer employs the way Marty suggests to
hold the pick sometimes.
When I double pick it is like I am sipping tea properly. Only my thumb
and index finger on the pick and the rest of the fingers are not
touching eachother and they maybe bent back a little.
To the originator of this thread. You probably double pick better than
you think.

take getting use to. The idea is do keep the minimum "jointage"
between wrist and pick. This means you don't hold the pick out at the
ends of your finger and thumb. Instead, fashion your picking hand into
a fist. Your first finger is folded back into your palm with the rest
of your fingers. The pick is grasped between your thumb and between
the two joints on your first finger (no easy joint jokes, folks). This
way the only motion moving the pick is your wrist.
