Hey Morten F thanks for the great video! This came up randomly on my feed but perfect timing because I have been looking for a technique that will help me bring out the strength and sound of my 1955 Hoyer Special archtop. It’s taken me a few days to figure it out (I had to completely flatten my thumb on the pick) but as soon as I did that it was instant success!!
Thank you for posting this video, it really, really helped me. Now I need to work on it, but this really solved a lot of issues all at once, just putting those three fingers together. Thank you!
I found my pick hand by putting down the pick. Then while shaking the hand, finding the most relaxing hand posture, where only index and thumb were touching. Then insert the pick between thumb and index, and remember this hand posture. All of the hand is relaxed except for the presure applied to the pick.
I improved my right hand by throwing the pick in the garbage. My tone is so much better, and being able to play walking bass and counter point is a game changer
I also changed the way hold the pick a number of years ago after watching some Pebber Brown videos. I gave up the pinky anchoring thing as well. I didn't think I would be able to get used to that, but eventually did.
These things are good for some and horrible for others. Personally I don t like this position, doesn t help me, but I know some who prefer this after discovering it. Depending on the genre being played i hold the pick in different ways. On the other hand technique many times is about doing something right that we don t feel confortable with at first....So I do understand you perfectly. Thanks for sharing :)
It seems that jazzers tend to do more down strokes and smaller sweeps than other technical fusion players with alternate picking. I started using a thicker pick and tucked it tighter as you demonstrated…

Chris Thile describes a similar technique for mandolin, especially using the middle finger to support the index finger in holding the pick stable.
Cool, it really helps.

The technique seems best learned by boys in their teenage years when they’re also practicing wrist based exercises that are not music based.
