Trouble holding the guitar

I am still having trouble holding the guitar, it's like i can't for 1 find the right place to put my hand and how to hold the pick, I know it dramatically effects how I play, also i haven't quite figured out all the 'how to's or do's and don'ts of the fret hand yet. I've watched the vids... but also the how to hold your pick... doesn't seem like that's right for an electric, maybe more accoustic.

Anyone have any more resources on the right ways to hold everything? Also I think that my guitar the gibson, les paul might be too small for my hands, is that possible? i feel like when i try and muffle my hand over the bridge that the pick ends up on top of the pickup by neck, that doesnt seem right it trips me out. any thoughts?
