Let's start with a recap on picking. The pick should be pointing directly towards the face of the guitar. Your picking motion should be parallel to the face of the guitar, moving "through" each string. No "pecking" or "popping", and no picking diagonally through the string, which can lead to sliding the pick on the string, causing a scratchy or noisy sound (see [[Basic Technique]]).
