So, to give a little background, been playing mandolin for a month and a half, but have played both upright and electric bass for over a decade. More to the question, been working on my chords and strumming lately, with the goal of being able to jump in on a jam and play basic rhythm/backup. When strumming, the pick will gradually spin in my fingers as I continue to play a song. It doesn’t do this when picking out a melody line, just when strumming chords. I’ve been trying my earnest to always keep a light grip but in order to hold the pick so it doesn’t spin while strumming feels like it’s too much clinching. I’m not dropping the pick, it’s just gradually spinning between my fingers. I’ve thought about drilling a couple holes in the pic, but not sure on the pattern, or if the pic spinning is a sign of bad form/grip. Any advice would be appreciated.
