=== Holding the Pick ===
This exercise is very simple, designed solely to help ensure you are holding the pick correctly. Your grip should point the tip of the pick directly at the face/front of the guitar. Your Rather than make normal 1 note picking motion should strokes or strumming all the strings, you want to simply move your entire arm slowly, "pushpushing" the pick through each string. ''You should be able to continue the motion through each string without having to reset your grip. '' You should be able to perform both downstrokes and upstrokes equally easy using the same grip - you should not have to rotate your wrist or otherwise prepare for a downstroke vs. an upstroke.
