Holy crap, I've been holding the pick wrongly for 18 years. Just tried changing my technique and already I can see differences in my speed. Thank you!

There is nothing as heartbreaking, as sorrowful, as a mandolin played in a minor key.
I must be an auditory masochist, as I LOVE it!.

I just discovered the right way to hold the mandolin. Looked at the right. THATS IT. Look at his posture guys. Very balanced.

The term for that pick shape would be symmetrical.

[@souloftheage]

"symmetrical" isn't a shape.
Maybe "Triangle"?
