Started playing about 7 weeks ago, recently switched from Fender Play to JustinGuitar.
One thing I'm struggling with is still accurate picking (using a plectrum), so I pay attention to it when watching videos.
I've noticed that most people seem to pick with the fingers that aren't touching the pick stretched, forming an almost "OK sign" shape. Why is this? To me personally, it feels more natural to fold the fingers into my palm, as if I was holding a pencil. I've seen people touch the pickguard with their fingertips, maybe for extra stability. I don't think my fingers are long enough to get al the way there when strumming the 6th string though.
So, any obvious advantages in stretching the fingers out rather than forming a relaxed fist?
