Does anyone have any advice on keeping the pick from moving around in your fingers? No matter how hard I squeeze my fingers the pick moves. The only thing that I found that works is putting 2 way tape on the pick to help it stay in place. Any help would be appreciated.

Try diffrent size and diffrent thickness picks and see what works best... there are a lot of them.


Captcha is a total pain in the........

A video I watched from justinguitar said that the pick will move and that's that. What will happen is you'll get used to auto-adjusting the position of the pick. It shouldn't move alot all the time, but it will move sometimes. I'm a newbie so I don't know if this is true or not, but that's what I saw on his video.

Dunlop picks have a thicker enscription on them making it easier to hold them then a smooth pick.

Thank all,

I have tried all different types of picks. The best one I have found so far is Bog Street. They have some texture and the hole in the middle gives me a little better grip but even they move but maybe they "just move".

I have been playing for several years and the pick turning in my fingers to the flat side of the pick has always been an issue for me as well. I have tried from thin to thick, textured, smooth, you name it. Pretty much always having the same issue, especially when I am strumming aggressively. One thing I have done that works to a degree is taking a small nail and punching some holes in the pick. It may sound a little strange but this has worked for me in the past. Hope this helps

I was running into the same problem. I came up with the idea of cutting some electrical tape into thin strips and building up the flat end of the pick to about a 1/4 inch or so. Gives a "handle" for my fingers to hold onto. I can " grip it and rip it " and it stays rock solid in my grip. Try it !

I can't vouch for them but they are highly reviewed (4-1/2 stars with 246 reviews) on Amazon.

This is from a Facebook post by Kfir Ochain.

never used one but it's definitely a new way of holding a pick. [br]Thanks so much ? I got a lot of question about the pick that I'm using in this video - It's called Pykmax, it's basically an extension of your pick that allows to grip it with your hand and not just fingers. http://smarturl.it/pykmax.
