    Default String Striking Technique

    Is it proper technique to strike both strings when playing individual notes?

    Don't dig in with the pick,follow through the strings with a light brush in the beginning.

    Yes. Loose fingers loose wrist. If you don't drop the pick occasionally you are gripping it too tightly. R/
