i'm learning to play guitar, i'm actually somewhat good by now. but for some reason, i can never seem to get a good grip or hold on to the pick, like it slips out of my fingers. i hold it right, i'm positive.
dottie4 answered Friday January 19 2007, 9:33 pm: Yeah. I know exactly what you mean. Especially when Im playing for people I lose grip of the pick all the time. What really helps me is I use nylon picks that are the extra heavy kind. I also recommend getting some heavier strings. With those in combo, you really shouldn't have this problem anymore. With thicker picks you'll be able to have a better grip on the pick and with the heavier strings, you'll have better control of the pick. It takes a while to get use to the heavier picks but after you do, you'll be glad you did. Same with the strings. I play really hard so I like having heavier strings. I break the strings a lot less.

Try a local music store, or if you dont have one, heres an idea of what your looking for-
