Re: [SurfGuitar101] double picking

Richard (errant_jedi) - 14 Jan 2004 17:48:31

You might want to search the archives, we had a big
discussion about it once. People here all do it a
little differently; with some guys it's all wrist,
with some a combination of wrist/forearm, everybody
grips the pick a little differently.
Personally, I use Dunlop Tortex mediums (yellow ones)
or Heavy Alien Piks gripped between my thumb and index
and bird finger and mainly use my forearm. I don't
know how I developed this habit or if there's anything
wrong with it, but I find that I'm better off just
letting my forearm control things. I try to keep my
pick perpendicular to the strings as much as possible.
Switching to flatwound strings will also greatly
reduce that scraping noise you hear when you pick
sideways.
