Pick slanting isn't the only way! I use all three of these methods. Let's talk about them:
1. Bending or extending the thumb will automatically clear the string
2. Pick slanting is the most popular method achieved by "slanting" (different from angling) the pick in order to clear the string: the tip points towards the floor after the final down-stroke on a string or towards the ceiling after the final up-stroke
3. Pick swiping is going through the string rather than clearing it by striking a ghost note or doubling the first note on a string change
