Geetah update or my solution for my slippy pick

Been playing for about a year and half now and I still suck bad. One of my major struggles was my grip on my pick. I tend to hold the pick loosely for a lighter sound since I don't want to play too loudly in the house - however this leads me to always have my pick rotate or slowly fall out of my fingers. I've never been able to finish a song before because I had to stop and adjust my pick or lick my fingers for my grip.

I started by punching a couple holes into my picks but that only marginally helped. Then I found this site which has a lot of user-submitted ideas on how to fix my slipping guitar pick problem. Lots of things to try out but tonight I was able to bang out the entire "Boy who blocked his own shot" song by using some double sided tape around the pick. One less thing for my mind to worry about I guess and I was able to play with ease.

Haven't picked up the guitar in a few weeks (got back into GoW), but after tonight's pick solution I feel like I've improved a bit. Maybe I'll be able to play some more faster songs now with more confidence.

  1. dude pick yourself up some snarling dogs brain picks, theyve got all these tiny spikes coming out of the pick that work as a grip texture, theyre very effective at stopping the slip/rotate stuff.
