Naw, I don't think it's going to matter, Tom. If anything, mine is usually perpendicular to the strings if not slightly pointing toward the nut, but just find what works for your hand. IMHO, It's probably more important to get the pick rotated slightly so you're actually playing more with the edge of the pick as opposed to the entire flat surface of the tip.

Becoming a great guitarist has less to do with fancy moves than it does becoming a master of the basics and learning musicianship.
It's not what you can't do. It's how you play what you already know.
