So I've recently come back to playing after 10 years off.
I played 99% of the time fingerstyle as I couldn't get comfortable with a pick, (despite being a guitarist) so coming back to it, I've been playing solely with a pick.
I'm playing some aggressive pop-punk Green Day and have developed a blister on my picking hand ring finger outside.
What is the accepted best way to play with a pick? Anchor or no anchor?
On the guitar I developed a technique where I anchored near the middle pickup to help with muting but that wouldn't work here.
On a side note, picking stamina seems to be a thing 😄 On the guitar I used to play softly as it stopped me tensing up and I could play faster, but I've noticed with the Green Day stuff I'm really digging in and I'm thrashing the crap out of the bass. Is this a bad habit i need to stop now? Talking about my playing and not Green Day 🤣
