Confused Grip

It blows my mind to 'finally' see inside my pick technique. I've just received my 1st magnet and already feel like I've learned a lot. I'm a 64yr old 'has-been' still trying to get my right hand fixed BEFORE I go knocking on Heaven's Door. I positioned my grip in various styles because I'm still wrestling with what feels most comfortable and ergonimic. I've recently discovered the EVH 3 finger grip works an absolute treat for 'rhythm' playing, and I'm in the process of trying to re-program my action. However, even though this feels very natural for strumming, when picking, it still feels kinda comfortable, but erratic in terms of accuracy. I still don't quite know which direction I should be focused on, because my other grip has developed into a smoother tremelo.

Gappy

I'm calling this one 'Gappy' because I'm very 'aware' of how it feels either side of the string. It feels like I'm going 'too far' off the string? Something about this still feels 'loose'? But it does seem like an improvement?

Open string

I've been experimenting with starting on an upstroke and trying to embrace this bizarre tendency I have, to 'grab' at an upstroke... surprisingly, it seems to 'work' for the most part. Even though it still looks jerky, here. I just heard, in the 'middle'... I kind of played 'light'... (volume drop also)... and it seemed pretty smooth, for a micro-second...?
