The guitar should always rest on the right leg of the player. And the player should always be in good posture (straight, sitting up). Believe it or not that is all there is to it.

How to hold a guitar pick

When choosing a guitar pick, my recomendation would be to get a pick with a grip on it. I prefer the Jim Dunlop picks. Also its best to buy many picks since they are cheap ( only about 10-25 cents each ). The two types of picks you will see are thin and thick. I never found any use to the thin picks except for in increasing speed just a little bit but the thick picks are more durable and can be very reliable.

Step 1

The normal way to hold a pick is by placing it between your thumb and index finger with your index finger curled under the thumb.
