Some growing pains playing my new Red Dog Tele. One of the reasons I got it was to set up the middle humbucker to be an alternate "bridge" pickup. My picking technique has always been more Neil Young than Robert Fripp, so the pick being audible hitting it is becoming an issue. I know that, for years, slamming a middle humbucker on a Custom (perhaps my next guitar, because I like to make my life difficult) was how players remedied the problem, but I'm thinking I need to work on my picking technique with a metronome is the way to go.

My living room beater has very low action, on purpose.
It's a hollow body so I can really hear it.
It's really obvious when my right hand gets heavy/sloppy.
This really helps me keep my right hand technique clean in time when I'm woodshedding heavily.
