I'm in the US and would be glad to post to this thread..except I'm not sure that I have anything useful to say. It sounds like you're working toward a style similar to what I do.

I use a very small, thin pick. To keep it from making that annoying buzzy/clicky sound, I hold it very near the end so barely any pick is sticking out..close enough to the end that my fingers end up with stringdirt patches on them when I play.
Holding the pick like most folks seem to doesn't give me as much control over where I hit. A regular size pick also doesn't give me as much control because it's harder for me to tell where the point is when my hand is full of plastic.

If you've got your chords and a good ear, you'll probably be able to pick it up fairly easily.
