yeah so they say old habits are hard to break...
is this one THAT bad?

I dont hold the pick between my thumb and pointer ( index ) but instead I hold it between my thumb and middle finger...

I first started playing guitar when I was 16 ish? and that was 20 years ago....not like I played for 20 years...picked it up and put it down etc...but have always held the pick this way

so is holding the pick like this going to dampen my ability to do other things?
should I totally retrain myself and hold it the way it is typically taught...wow that will be so hard
20 year old habit....well maybe not a habit....20 year old method I guess

opinions?
