'Picking' this up from the interview thread...

I think I get the notion of 'rubbing out the notes' with the pick as was
stated in the Mandolin Cafe interview with MC. I also get the pick grip, and
use it. I have also heard that the hand motion when picking the mandolin
should be as when turning a doornob (american I presume, the Swedish
doornobs are a little different - not really changing the hand motion though
when I think about it).

Anyway, this is where I'm having troubles. When I'm playing, trying to
'rubber' the notes out, my pick motion is driven by my underarm, not my
wrist so much. I find it very difficult to get a controlled pick motion when
using the wrist - door opening style.

Can anyone on the list help me here? I think not getting this part of
picking is a hinder for me when it comes to playing controlled and powerful
at the same time. Maybe someone can make a video of the right wrist motion,
or if there are good examples already, point me to them?

Kind regards,
Jonas
