    uhh, how do you use a pick?

    like how do you hold one? do you pluck (i'm not sure if that's the correct word) the strings from the bottom or top? is there a difference between a guitar pick and a bass pick? it seems like a lot of bands use picks, and i really like the tone you get, but when i try to use one, it feels...

    people who are self taught
