So I recently began playing mando about 2 months ago. I have played guitar on and off over the years. I just released tonight that I may be holding the pick in a non-optimal way when playing mandolin. I am holding the pick like I would a pencil using my thumb, index and middle fingers. After watching a few videos, I realize I should be wedging the pick in between the tip of my thumb and the first joint of my index finger. Does this sound about right?
It feels awkward, but I am guessing it is worth the effort of re-learning? I feel like I can notice a difference in tone, sounds deeper with this approach.
Any feedback is much appreciated!
