    I’m probably not the best one to give advice on this subject as I don’t like playing with a pick, however I do need to learn and try to use one everyday. I’ve been pretty diligent for the past year. One thing I’ve done that has helped me, is having less pick exposed. I only have about 1/16 to maybe 1/4 inch if the tip exposed. I keep trying to go less. This has helped with my accuracy, speed, and not having the pick getting caught in the strings as much on the upstroke. It also seems to keep the pick from rotating as much in my fingers. @petelanger also gave great advice. Try different pick, pick shapes, pick materials, and pick thickness. I’ve gone to a much thicker pick than when I first started.
