Hey, I've been playing guitar for about 3 years now, and I'm always looking to improve my playing. I noticed the other day that the way I hold my pick, makes me prefer to start out on upstrokes rather than downstrokes. I actually flat-pick with all upstrokes.

Is this a bad thing? I am a lefty who plays a right-handed Epiphone SG. (If that matters, lol)

Anyway... Most of my buddies (and pretty much everyone else I see play) play with downstrokes.

Is there an advantage to this, or is it just different?

Thanks in advance!
