This is where it is for me - not sure if the link will work - but the lesson is called "How to use a pick"

Thanks for the link.

This is quite a different technique to many others shown elsewhere, where the pick seems to lie at a 90 degree angle to the thumb. I wonder if there is a particular advantage to this method or if it's one the instructor just happened to chance upon?
