Secondly dont be afraid to experiment with arm rests. We all naturally tend to lay our picking arms on our guitars. Arm rests are a great way to elevate your elbow. Once you train your brain on that angle of attack you will see yourself lifting your picking elbow off the guitar more and more.
OP here. Obliged for the practical advise. I will def incorporate your suggestions.
