picking technique

[YYZDMV46&2]

I LOVE Tool and i love playing their songs (i know all of aenema and opiate), but i am having trouble using a pick like JC. To combat this problem i have grown out my finger nail on my index finger, and i "hold" my finger where the pick should be. i can even tremelo pick relatively fast on songs like Aenema and Vicarious. Has anyone else come across this scenario? all input is appreciated.

You might like to check out this link to a TB thread. It may not be the way JC does it, but it's generally accepted to be a safe method.
