1 thing that really sucks

ok so im sittin here looking at some speed riffs for guitar, then pick the guitar up and BANG WHERE THE HELL IS MY PICK, search the whole dam room, nothing not even a broken one.... and to top that off guitar shops closed and noway to get a pick for the rest of the night........ there thats 1 thing that sucks

That, my friend, is why I have about 30 guitar picks laying around.

That, and my dog likes to eat them. I swear she's the infamous pick monster that takes everyones picks.

yeah man, i always end up leaving them in my pockets and my mom puts them thru the wash and they get stuck in there somewhere....

i have approx. 10 picks right now. i couldn't dream of having less than 5, they're like toothpicks, use and throw away (actually i propably use the same toothpick more times than i use the same pick nowadays) :o

im always low on picks. I go to the shops and buy about 6, come home to find ive already lost 2 and then i gradually lose the rest within 4 days or so. Thats the cycle of my pics. Pain in the arse i tell ya.

yea i need like a sams club box full maybe tha would last a few hours ;/

I carry an Altoids tin full of picks, different thicknesses, fingerpicks, etc, metal, plastic, and keep it in my back pocket like a snuff can. Probably 60-70 picks.

Yep, got set up at a homeless shelter once, sweating like a stuck pig, grabbed my guitar (I was lead guitarist for a fairly new band and I was new to lead guitar) and forgot my picks! I had to go all the way home to get some and since then I've never been without. I have picks on a keychain, picks in each gig bag, each guitar case, I have picks in my pockets, picks in my billfold, picks in my ashtray/changetray of every vehicle, and usually chew on a pick just so that I don't ever leave home without them.

I buy em by the dozens. One time I found a catalogue that sold em by the gross (144) for I don't remember...25-30 bucks, something like that. That batch lasted me for a good 5 years. But I still have one out of the very first handpicked batch I ever bought about 13 years ago. I don't use it anymore, it's just become a memento of the beginnings hanging on the wall above my amp.

I bought one of those pickholder thingies and stuck it to the back of my amp. They hold quite a few, so I'm never without when I play out, and I never use them except for playing out. But at home...heaven help my wife. She finds them EVERYWHERE and half the time even I can't remember how they got there. She has a little container she puts them in when she finds them and it's right next to my amp. They start out there, but you know how it goes...the vicious circle.

all of your problems are solved!!!!

make you own customised picks for a resonable price

are band got 100 of them really really cheap.

go and buy about 400 picks, now drop them on the floor and spread them around. when ever u ned on just reach around on the floor and your bound to find one.

I wedged one for emergencies inbetween my cellphone cover and my cellphone...

well, I just placed an order on musicians friend for a bunch of stuff, and since shipping is free for orders over $99 (special anniversary thing, usually it's $200) and I was spending over $700, I decided to throw in all the small things, so, I'm getting 3 full sets of strings at $3.89 each. and 1 dozen fender guitar picks for $2.99... and that wasn't even the cheapest picks on there... I could've gotten the musicians friend picks at .99 a dozen. but, I don't know why i chose the fender picks, just the cool color I guess (blue). but I do have that problem of losing picks alot too... I think I am going to get one of those pick pockets (catchy name, I know) and stick it on my amp... or better yet, on the back of my headstock... lol (I'm kidding, I wouldn't do that)

Here I thought I was the only one that used an altoids tin. What flavor do you use? I've got spearmint.

I, like everyone else, seem to burn through picks really fast too. I got one I keep in my wallet just in case though. I bought my first guitar when I was 16 off a kid from school. He through in a ton (like 50) of these pink picks that I always keep in my gig bag. 8 years later I maybe have 5 left. It's a sad, sad world.
