(michael angelo is left handed but plays right hand guitar btw).

so how can i get it smooth? i've tried with a metronome and the speed trainer in guitar pro. i've tried holding the pick differently and some ways i feel more control but the sweat pushes the pic back to where its sloppy again.

does anyone know what i'm talking about?

Michael Angelo is ambidextrous. Try keeping your 5th finger (pinky) on the pick guard to keep your hand steady. Most guitarists do it for the purpose of better sound quality and precision.
