Emann - try this: open it up a bit and place the thumb pick past the knuckle. I was watching a video of Rev. Gary Davis (who had really long fingers) and saw that’s how he wore a thumbpick. It did the trick for me in that it kept my thumb stiff and improved the angle for muting.
Happy Traum has a really good video entitled, “Conquer the Challenge Of the Steady Thumb” which I can recommend. Honestly, it has taken me a long time to get to the point I am at... I would give myself a grade of ‘B’... still a ways to go.
Best,
Rick
