As I often do, I evaluate and re-evaluate my right hand pick grip. When watching many good players, and how they hold their picks, they have their picking hand fingers tucked in a loose fist. When I do that I find my pinky, ring finger, and sometimes middle finger, rub the the strings as I play. Is that inevitable, natural, don't worry about it? I can't really tell if I'm muting the tone or not. And I guess it's relative to whether I'm above or below the bridge. Is the pick hand supposed to float over the strings while the heel of the hand lightly rests on the bridge, or at least uses the bridge as a reference point?
