Pick slipping

I have done everything to keep my pick from getting out of position. It doesn’t fall out of my hand but as I strum, the angle changes so the tip ends up facing my palm rather than the sound hole. And I end up strumming with the side of the pick. 

I feel like I’ve changed positions, pressure, pick thickness, etc. Any other suggestions? Thanks! 

Dava picks have a nice rubber grip and are very comfortable. You might want to try those. 

But in general, I have noticed that the pick bothers me less than it did when I started and while it can rotate, I just readjust it as I’m playing. 

Another option is a thumb pick. A friend put onto Golden Gate and after I got used to the feeling, I really enjoyed it

It's a good place to review the fundamentals of holding and using a pick correctly.

You could try an assortment of picks, all made to facilitate grip - textured picks, jumbo triangle pics, stick-on rubber or cork pick pads, etc. But it sounds like you've already done that with little improvement. I have the same problem and it's taken me a while to realize that specialized picks are not the answer, at least not for me. You need to train your brain to tell your fingers to maintain sufficient (but not too much) squeeze on whatever pick you are using. I take five to ten minutes every day and concentrate exclusively on my pick grip while playing memorized scales. I then do the same while strumming (doesn't even need to be a chord). I mix up my strumming - fast, slow, light, vigorous, and so on.

I don't know how much good would come from trying to strengthen the hand muscles involved in pick gripping, as one doesn't need a vice-like grip to hold a pick with enough force to keep it in place. I think most of my problem (and probably yours as well) is that I just slowly and unconsciously ease up too much on my grip and, as a result, the pick rotates out of alignment. On the bright side, I've become pretty adept at using my pick in almost any position.

Finally, I've achieved some improvement by holding the pick quite low, so that only a small portion of the tip sticks out toward the strings.

So far, it's taken a lot of time and effort for me to achieve modest gains, but it's slowly getting better.

Hopefully, others in here can share more effective techniques for setting you (or at least your pick) straight.

William and Sascha gave you great advice.  Thanks to Sascha for linking my lesson!

Usually this issue for beginner students is related to tension. It seems counterintuitive but it helps to make a conscious effort to use a lighter grip or touch. Also to relax your arm, elbow and hands. I find most pick slipping goes away with less tension.

Hope that helps!
