Overview of Will's picking

Hi, I've found 2 different versions of placing my hand on the bridge when picking. 1st video) Using the heel of my hand with my fingers tucked in. This is how I naturally play and practice when I'm sitting down. 2nd video) Using the edge of my pinky finger with my fingers splayed out. This changes the angle of the pick in a more downwards direction. This is the way I typically play when I stand up as I sling my guitar significantly lower than when I sit down. I've been playing guitar for nearly 30 years...went to music college.. I play and perform and record regularly...but I just seem to stink at picking. I would say my top speed is around 120bpm for 16th notes, and that's pushing it! So I'm looking at getting some clarity as to what it is that I am doing and getting some feedback on the knowledge that I already have and get some tweaks and feedback and direction. So please consider this a big "overview" of where I'm at. I appreciate you being direct and honest and thorough with your response!! Thank you in advance. Will

Sweet Child 'O Mine picking example

As you can see and hear, I can pull this off, but I still find I have note accuracy issues quite regularly. This is my first time uploading and I'm excited for the opportunity to work with you guys on getting more accurate, and faster picking! By the way, my Magnet hasn't arrived yet but I was keen to upload something. And I put my video in slow motion on the 2nd half.
