Kind of like asking a golfer if he inhales or exhales on his backswing - once you start thinking about it, you’re screwed! If I think about I can’t play. But I’ve occasionally observed myself anchoring the edge of my hand on the bridge, just touching the top with my pinky, palm muting, and playing without touching anything. The only things that seem constant are anchoring my pinky when I’m playing electric lead, and never touching anything while strumming. But when I’m fingerpicking I just do what feels right and I try not to think about it.
