In this lesson, I’ll break down the 3 most common mechanical mistakes that cause you to miss strings and show you simple, targeted fixes for each one:
✅ Fix #1: Correct your pick angle to avoid brushing unwanted strings
✅ Fix #2: Stop relying on wrist deviation — use forearm rotation for control
✅ Fix #3: Learn the “slingshot” picking technique for speed and consistency
These are the same biomechanics-based techniques I use with my private students to help them clean up their playing, unlock better tone, and play pain-free — no matter their age or experience level.
