OK. I have just made my 1st clawhammer pick...

...and it WORKS!  On the 1st try it works, which is a miracle. I am a not good at "handy man" type stuff, so I was expecting  the worst.

But I nailed it...to my complete surprise. I got it off of this site, and its the one where you take a normal  Scruggs style pick, flatten down the curved part, and put it on backwards. 

I put it on my 1st finger, and it works,  but here is my concern. When I use it I routinely get a tone that sort of sounds like the "cluck" that players get when playing over the neck.  Now, I dont mind that, but sometimes I would like to not have it, but it just pops up seemingly whenever it wants to.

Is this normal? How can I get a clean sound whenever I want it?

Thanks
