Apr 6, 2015 at 13:38 comment added aeroNotAuto @MattL. okay, actually curling the wrist makes sense i think. as in i shouldn't keep my forearm still, curling my wrist to reach strings, i should try to move in a straight line across the strings, perpendicular to the direction they're strung in, which will require my forearm to move a lot more? if you post an answer, i'll accept.
Apr 6, 2015 at 13:30 comment added aeroNotAuto @SomeDudeOnTheInterwebs ha, i like the cutco video. i guess i don't see where, on a right handed guitar, the right hand would move parallel to a string while picking (while tapping, i could see). for picking consecutive notes on a string, i don't tend to move much, if at all. if i pick notes on two different strings, i generally move perpendicular to the strings, not parallel. i imagine that means i don't scoop but i'm still not sure what plane the circular motion from 'scooping' happens in.
Apr 6, 2015 at 12:23 comment added Matt L. You could leave a comment under the answer asking for explanation. What I think he means is that for this technique you shouldn't turn your wrist, i.e. make a circular movement with your pick, but instead move it in a straight line.
Apr 6, 2015 at 12:08 comment added Some Dude On The Interwebs I have the suspicion it means... not moving the hand in parallel with the string, as if with a scoop (youtube.com/watch?v=zXIPaKibKKg)
