This will sound weird but my biggest problem is a small one that really screws everything else up big time. I can't control the damn pick!!!
For the most part I have not had many problems playing and switching between chords and so far I understand everything theory wise (just finished Fudimentals 2) Barre chords feel comfortable (A major forms, a little tougher!)
But the pick won't stay where it's supposed to. I can feel it spinning around as I'm playing and before I know it it's pointing the wrong way. It hasn't actually flew across the room yet but it's just a matter of time...
I am holding the pick as suggested in the first lesson and realize that I need to hold it tighter but when I concentrate on that part, I screw up on the chord changing/scale work.

Help!
