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.
