. After searching quite a bit on here, the US forum, and for vids, I haven't found anything really helpful and up close about right hand position. I probably haven't searched long enough and am now being lazy and impatient. I have sausage fingers and can't quite get my right hand in what feels like the correct placement, and then get my picks on the strings where they work well. Thumb pick feels the hardest as does the relationship between the index and middle finger. I have good dexterity in the right hand as I've played electric and double bass and some piano for 35 years. I appreciate that technique can be unique as per one's physiology but there must be some gerneral rules.
Could anyone please point me in the correct direction for more close up instruction, albeit DVD, video etc...? I don't even mind paying for one-on-one tuition around Yorkshire or by skype. I'd like to know about or see how you shape the finger picks with pliers so they fit snug but don't hurt, like everyone mentions about Jeff Newman and his advice, and what good placement looks like in motion.
Many thanks in advance and apologies if I just didn't search well.
