Do you ever feel your pick snagging and catching on the strings?
If so, it’s likely because you’re contacting the strings with the flat side of the pick.
This can cause the pick to catch on the strings and create a lot of resistance with picking.
Something that can remedy this is angling your pick to the strings.
When your pick contacts a string on an angle, it slices through a lot easier.
It slices down on the outside edge, and up on the inside edge.
You can angle your pick by curving the knuckle of the thumb of your picking hand.
When you first try to play with your pick on an angle, you might find you’re producing a swishy, brushy sort of sound that doesn’t sound very good.
Once you get a bit more comfortably with this approach, that sound generally goes away.
If not, it could be a sign you need to pick through the string a bit more.
