Dave Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 I saw a great tip in another forum about this. It's an inexpensive method. You buy your regular picks' date=' and then you take a hot needle and carefully melt/carve a # where you hold the pick. The guy said it works great! I haven't tried it myself. Also I saw a technique where you hold the pick in such a way that it doesn't hit the string "flat on" but more on its side. Here's the youtube vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-NOMn3P9AE Paul Gilbert has a LOT of guitar tips on there.[/quote'] I use a three finger pick technique that is similar to that. My thumb and first two fingers hold the pick and that allows me to rotate the pick between flat and angled. I tend to angle the pick on fast riffs so that the rounded edge attacks the string from about a 45 degree angle. There's less pick drag that way and things speed up. If I want sharp attack or a chord strum, I go back to flat.
