Holding the Pick
Right Hand Picking Position
The pick should be held between the thumb and the index finger of your right hand. Put your hand in a “thumbs up” position and rest the pick as shown on your index finger. The pointed end should be facing away from your fist. Place the thumb so your fingertip is in the middle of the pick and only the end of the pick sticks out. Rest the pick on top of your index finger. Press down with your thumb. Make sure that your hand is relaxed, as too much tension in your hand can slow down your picking.
