(Bump)
In my first incarnation as a player, I held my pick in the normal manner, between thumb and index finger. In my more recent incarnation, I can't seem to get comfortable holding it that way, but hold it between my middle finger and thumb. I think it somewhat hinders me, but whenever I try to do it "correctly", it just doesn't feel right. I use mostly medium picks, and occasionally a steel pick for when I'm feeling brutally metal.
Any comments/suggestions? It seems that I hit the strings unintentionally with my pinkie more often than I used to when I held the pick in the more accepted position.
