If you could go and check out my May Lick of the Month video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qj9nFlRrUaA and just watch how my left hand is positioned that may help show you a little of what I'm attempting to show you. I use part of the thumb to mute the strings after I play them and this also places my pick in a different position which makes picking both alternate and directional easy.
I also started using V-Picks which has made both my tone and playing better - believe it or not!

Hope this helps for now.

All the best,
Joe
