I use a very tight grip on a heavy pick, with as little of the pick
point contacting the strings as possible. The motion is a combination
of the wrist and arm. Although my grip is tight, my arm is very
relaxed. I attack the string agressively, yet do so in a relaxed
manner, if that makes any sense. I liken it to a boxer pulling his
punches.
