XB26354 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 I don't agree that anchoring your ring and pinky on a lower string will benefit playing with a pick at all. It creates unnecessary tension across the picking hand and limits mobility across the strings - Ivor Mairants was one of the finest jazz guitarists this country has produced and his teaching manual on drawing all the fingers in, holding the pick lightly and allowing the forearm free movement has improved my picking no end. Bass has thicker strings spaced further apart, but the mechanics are broadly the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmanlamius Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 Works for me. As I say in the vid, it's down to personal preference... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
