Hold the 1st digit of your 1st finger under and behind the thumb so that they form a right angle. These 2 fingers are the only ones holding the pick. The other fingers and rest of the hand are relaxed. This technique gives the most surface area which leads to the most control and stability.
Slip the pick between the 2 fingers. The wrist should also be straight from the arm to the back of the hand.
