Holding a pick the best way

The following documentation explains how to hold, and use a pick. When reading, keep in mind that your "picking hand" is the hand which is nearest to the bridge of the guitar, when sitting in the correct position.

1. Open your picking hand, and turn the palm to face you.
2. Close your hand to make a very loose fist. Your thumb should remain beside your index finger.
3. Rotate your hand until you are looking at it's profile, with your thumb's knuckle facing you.

Don't hold the pick too tight or too loose...just a smooth grip will work the best...
holding too loose can cause you to drop the pick.
holding too tight will distort the chord you will play. 
best of luck
