Higher gain will help you learn how to do them, but once you get used to them, you won't need any gain at all. What pick you use doesn't matter. Just use whatever is most comfortable. The easiest... |

Ideally you should be comfortable and capable with both. Don't just abandon using a pick because you can't play with it well enough. Work on your weaknesses. |

Don't think about what angle you hold the pick at, at least not in a numerical way. Just hold it so it's comfortable and adjust the angle that the pick hits the string to get the sound you want. |
