I am a right-handed player, and used to focus on where my pick struck the strings as well, including the fact that I also rest my pinky on the pick guard allowing my hand to pivot while picking strings rather than my picking hand “free floating” (I know, weird right?? but it works for me). If I strum, then my picking hand IS free floating. I battled with what might be considered more of a “correct” position–middle of sound hole, edge of sound hole, etc., but then it was all about how my arm rested on the top of the guitar–which dictated a natural placement of my picking hand—and as luck would have it, I end up over the sound hole. Size of the guitar makes a difference too. I never stand to play, I am always sitting….so that may play an importance on where my picking hand naturally falls too.
