infoAbout This Title
NEW PRACTICE PACK: The Relaxed Picking Pack
I've held my pick the same way for years - and it was quietly capping my speed the whole time. Turns out it wasn't technique, it was pressure.
This week's pack fixes the 4 things actually holding your picking hand back:
Gripping too hard (and fighting your own hand) The exact pressure test I use with every student
Pick sitting flat and catching the string The angle fix that lets it glide through cleanly
One fixed angle for every string transition Adjusting angle by direction so transitions stop fighting you
Pick rotating or sliding mid-phrase A stability check you can run every 30 seconds
