No Wrong Way To Hold A Pick - How To Experiment With Rotating Guitar Pick 360°

Most guitar teachers would tell you to hold the pick with the pointy side down toward the strings, but i never liked the way that felt. It always felt like the pick was going too deep and getting stuck on the strings, and that the ramp angle for the pick to get over the string was just too steep. So i started experimenting with rotating the pick thru all 360° and found a different corner of the pick that seems to work better for me. The corner i use now has a less steep ramp angle, so the pick gets over the string easier, without getting stuck. This corner also lets me put more of the surface of the pick on the string, which i feel gives me better control of the pick and the string. The pointy corner of the pick doesn’t get as much pick to string surface contact, resulting in a more thin, tinny sound. Ive been experimenting with rotating the pick for many years, and its just become a habit for me, so now i constantly rotate the pick as i’m playing, and can make any part of the pick work for me. There is no wrong way to hold a pick! Experiment, experiment, experiment!
