Through the years I've developed a habit of planting the pinky of my picking hand on the pickguard. (I think it's an old Scrugg's banjo picking habit...)
It's not working great for me, but my picking accuracy goes (and stays) way downhill when I work to keep my hand in a comfortable working zone above the strings as if I was strumming...
I see most players/instructors "floating" their right hand when picking blues--
Question: Is this planted-pinky habit an obstacle to gaining higher levels of speed and facility on the fretboard?
Thanks for Your Ideas~
