How does Chris hold his pick?

[skaterskagg1]

I'm always curious as to how other musicians hold their picks and I like to analyze how it affects their technique. Can someone tell me how exactly Chris holds his pick? Pictures would be nice.

between his thumb and pointer finger.

^^Lol

Does Chris sometimes pick using his elbow as a pivot? Sure seems like it in the 'blood in the water' video.

Chris uses alternate picking style, a whole lot of arpeggio stuff, sweep picking, legato and hammer ons, pull off and also a lot of finger picking stuff and the like. he hot his own pick patented...his picks are sharp and pointy edged also...you can check out his picks on google. he is a rather extra talented player.... but each guitarist is own his own, no one can copy the other cent percent.
