me no F%*£"$ way. i dunno an exercise i do is start at the e [1st] placing my mid. finger and the 2nd fret and pinky at the fourth and start to alternate pick up and down the fret board. i notice that my pinky isnt straight at all.
in the way it hits the string not paralell and definatly using just the side tip of it, and also when it not being used it sticks out like a periscope hehe. i try to relax my hand alot and i find that using those metal balls, yea i know that sounds funny but i have no idea what they call em, u know u twist em round in ur palm. u must be relaxed to do it properly without them hitting eachother and the more fluent and relaxed ur muscles are the better.
