Here's a clip of a new picking technique I'm experimenting with. Like anything else, it's easy for some things and hard for others. It seems that the stuff I struggle with my normal technique is easy with the new technique and visa versa
I used Richard's backing and did a couple takes with the old and new techniques. The clip using the new way is not a good example of building a solo at all. It's just an experiment in coltranesque wanking...
New technique:

Old Technique

Can you hear a difference in the attack?
The new way grips the pick with the side of the thumb and allows for virtually no pick movement. The old way uses the tip of my thumb and the pick moves which gives the feel a little more bounce but the tone is thinner and less meaty...
Thoughts?
