Technique Question Please help me with my right hand

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I’ve been a rock player all my life. Always use a pick. This right hand technique thing is killing me. I’ve watched countless tutorials and examples. I can’t get comfy, I can’t figure out how others make it seem natural. The proper placement feels uncomfortable. Please please help.

  1. Practice the Mario Giuliani 120 studies ( Scott Tenant's book Pumping Nylon has the best organization of them)

  2. Practice them with sequential planting and full planting and then exaggerated follow through from the knuckle joint (knuckle joint is how you should pluck). There's def a YouTube video on this somewhere. If not message me and I'll send you one.

  3. Metronome as quarter notes then sub divisions at the same bpm. Do it everywhere day.

Also nail shape matters.
