Steve,
You're a young player, still learning (aren't we all?) and I feel that you are at a point where you may get into 'bad habits' which are best ironed out early on in a players life.

Now, I'm no paragon of virtue when it comes to PSG, indeed, I've never had my bad habits ironed out, because I was self-taught back in the dark ages (pre-internet), but I have a couple of pointers for you:

Sit more to the changer end of the steel, centre yourself around about the 17th fret.

Don't let your picking arm stick out so far, tuck it in a bit to get a better picking angle/tone (this is one of my bad habits that I wish someone had told me about early on).

Practice blocking, especially pick-blocking.

Learn how to tune the cabinet-drop out of your steel (I've got a thread on the US forum which I'll dig out if you're interested)

Watch my right hand in this video for an example of pick (and possibly palm) blocking

Thanks

Nicely done chaps!
