Hey everyone, 


I think my picking hand is at a natural/neutral angle. For example, when I alternate pick, especially quickly, I must start with an up stroke. Anyone got some tips for setting the angle of attack for the pick? I'm thinking knuckles slightly down. I'm confident I keep my pick parallel to my strings, and I feel it may be slowing me down or messing with my timing.


Thanks for reading, and be safe.
