With his right hand in that position, which side of the pick is hitting upstroke and which is hitting downstroke?

I'm trying to change my picking method.

the guitar:

thats a new d'angelico new yorker

[jazzylover59]

The Guitar: Yes, that is the THEN new D'Angelico New Yorker, which Russell was endorsing and playing at that time. He used it on two recordings ~~ "Heartstrings" (VERVE 2001) and "Playground" (MAXJAZZ 2004). He now uses his Gibson Custom L5 CES for most performances. He has been seen recently playing his 1976 Gibson Johnny Smith at one night of the Hank Jones 90th Birthday celebration in NYC,
