The plectrum should extend only just beyond the fingertip. If too much of the plectrum is on show, it will flap around as you hit the strings, adversely affecting your flow and control.
2. Don't grip your plectrum too tightly. Obviously you need to keep a hold of it as you play but excessive grip will lead to tension in your hand and arm causing a lack of fluency in your playing.
3. Relax as you're playing and you'll find the your most natural style. Playing along to the cds or your iPod will help you improve on all your techniques and help you to focus on what you want to achieve rather than your own maybe slightly clumsy playing.
