Hello there. I have been reading this forum for about a half year and I now decided to become a member. This is my first post here:). Anyway, I too saw this video by Michael Angelo, Speed Kills and I was wondering how the hell does he pick. When he picks fast, his hand is at the 90 per cent angle to the strings and it looks like he is only moving his point finger and tumb backward and forward. I have tried to play like taht because you can realy move your fingers very fast that way without even moving the wrist or elbow and I must say that it is super fast and the overall control is way better than with elbow/wrist combination. The only problem is that when playing this way you must play with the edge of your pick which does not produce any sound. Any idea? I have looked all over the net but didnt find a thing on tahat matter.
