Looks like you've got some great advice so far: thin pick, loose wrist, start slowly then go faster, practice, practice, practice.

Default Pick thickness

a thin pick is a good place to start, as it will be more forgiving of somewhat inconsistent striking due to inaccurate pick depth (how far into the pick surface that you strike the string. However, after you develop some speed, you will notice that a thin pick deflects far enough that it won't return to center on time to strike the next time, and you will have to go to a thicker pick. I used a standard Fender heavy in the video.
