First step is the bottom chopstick. Grasp it so that there is pressure between the base of your thumb and around the first line of your middle finger as such:
This leaves the top of your thumb and index finger completely free to grasp and control the top chopstick. The base one doesn't move, only the top

YES.. The bottom chopstick is dead, and never moves. The top does all the work. Too many chopstick noobs try to move both....DONT!!
