guitar picks?


Question Posted Thursday January 18 2007, 8:38 pm

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.

any tips on what i could do about it?

i'd buy heavier picks. i recommend fender heavy. they come in different colors too. but because they're thicker, it's easier to hold on to them. there are also picks that have grips on them, but those are fairly expensive, and if you're anything like me, then you lose picks all the time! haha, i would definitely pick up some different picks though, next time you're at a music store.

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.

I have had that problem before, so when i went to my local guitar store to buy some strings i checked out their picks, they make picks that are textured so they dont slip.
Try a local music store, or if you dont have one, heres an idea of what your looking for-
