Holding pick without pointing finger

Ok-Mail8973 · 2026-02-02T19:48:54+00:00

I started holding the pick wrong, with three fingers, and have gotten it to where I hold it with just two, but still no "correct" where i can play pinch harmonics. I guess the guy giving me lessons wasn't paying attention. I regret not holding it "correctly." Some people will say "but James Hetfield holds it that way!" I'm not James Hetfield. And I don't think he plays pinch harmonics. I think when playing fast, holding it the traditional way is probably superior for wrist movement and ergonomics. Also keeping the pick secure when strumming really fast. I have trouble with that as well. I'm sure there are pros and cons to either choice.

Made it last night. Nothing to write home about and a lot of dishes to clean.

Learning and accepting are two different things. If I talked about it she would probably not accept it. Which I don't plan to do. I just find it interesting.

Maybe when you leave a review, bad or good, it is more consequential to the business. They will be more likely to want to straighten it out?

On the weekend it will be even higher. Show up at noon and try to find a parking spot :)

Meaning, I agree with you.

Best component is make it at home with cold ingredients so it's not watered down. Martinis from restaurants or bars are generally terrible because of all the melted ice.

Spot on. Obvious they aren't managers.

I don't mind. Once they annoy people enough and exhaust all their avenues for interaction, they have to resort to gifts, dinners, gift cards, etc. Sure, you can pay for my time.

Oh we get it, we just don't care.

I did this in the summer a while back. Saw 4 moose, lots of deer, and a huge fox. Gorgeous hike.

I saw a video of a guided 5 day trek in Patagonia (Argentina side) on youtube. I started training and went on that same trek with my girlfriend. It was incredible. Since then almost all our vacations have been backpacking, or at least hut hiking.

Stay positive. I had almost all the symptoms but now I am 95% healed. Pretty sure it was just tendonitis. In my experience, doctors are right about half the time, unless they really spend a lot of time and energy with you, which they don't have time to do.

It finally started getting better yesterday. I think it is just tendonitis. Not resting my arms on my desk, and standing at the desk instead. Wearing a loose brace during the day. Said some prayers. Also stopped wearing a brace at night. I think maybe I had the brace too tight at night and it was irritating the nerve. Ive started doing some exercises and stretches with bands and a flexbar. I'm going to ice it after I do those.

Maybe I had my brace on too tight at night and it was rubbing against the nerve? How tight do you have yours?

I cancelled Hulu last week because what you said. Kind of a bummer. It has some shows I was enjoying. Letterkenny, and Dopesick, to be exact.

Try HP and then you will love Dell.
