I seem to have about 2 -3 mm of a pointy Jazz III showing. I'm constantly making tiny adjustments when playing, which is why I don't like the Max Grip picks.
Dava control picks are quite cool for this but they tend to cost more than Dunlops and I still lose them at the same rate
so I use the tip and part of the side..
I find it helps the pick slide across the string without getting snagged..
If just done slowly you are getting the movement of the alternate picking and linking both hands ...then slowly introduce the picking hand to the string it gets you so you are just using the plec tip and its very smooth ..
Iv been doing this for a couple of weeks now after i heard about it and my picking has came on more than ever and sounds much smoother...2 or 3 mins a day every day for me has got big changes
I use a large triangle pick that's only 0.56mm thick. My technique varies depending on playing chords or lead.
For fast picking or solos, I only have the tip showing and the whole pick is put under tension around my thumb so it's very rigid.
When playing funkier rythmns I tend to have a lot of pick showing so it's very flexible.
I tried using thicker picks, but just don't like the feel when they hit the strings, thinner picks flex and are far more forgiving.
Saying that though I still have a couple of 3mm triangle Stubbies from the early 90s that I used in the studio when recording some solo's and they sounded awesome..I love that tock sound as it hit the string but it felt totally alien to me and I couldn't get use to it.
I'd love to have a pick with two different thicknesses. Rounded triangle with 0.56mm on two edges and 3mm on the other.
You could then turn the pick for solos or funky rythmns.. shit I should patent that quick

Is it the corner of a door or something?

It is faster for me that way.

I hold it pointing up rather than down and use just a little bit of the pick.
