breezy - Rhodesia's lovely this time of the year. The sun is shining and dusky maidens are dancing in the streets (well dusky men were dancing at Handsworth anyway).

To return to the pick and what Mooh was saying about the curled fist and tension, in the grip I was referring to above, the fist is only loosely curled, more or less so that the top joint of the first finger lies along the length of the thumb, the fist being quite open, with the other fingers curled slightly less.
