I'm on "Guitar Fundamentals 1 - Hickory Ridge" and am having trouble with my right (pick) hand knowing which string to hit. My left hand is alright navigating the strings but I am having trouble with my right hand knowing where to go unless I'm looking. I can't look at my hand and the tabs so that makes it tough.

I took guitar lessons, originally, about 16 years ago and learned basic chords (G, C, D, E A, etc). I could play in my parent's church's youth group band well enough because the songs were simple enough, so I had no trouble with chord changes or strumming in rythym.

I never learned how to pick individual strings though. So now all these years later that I'm returning to lessons I'm finding myself frustrated knowing I can play those simple songs but can't do these basics.

How are you supposed to find the right strings with a pick when there isn't any... "tactile" way to know where your hand is?
