#439 - I've Been Holding My Pick Wrong (what I'm changing in 2026) (Patreon)

🎸 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
