Re: Pick down

I do it every once in awhile, but not too often.

Re: Pick down

lol I haven't done that for a long time either.  Once they get in there they sure don't want to come out.  If you left enough of them in you could shake the guitar and use it as a percussion instrument.:)

Re: Pick down

I did it just a week or so ago.  Then I grabbed another pick and promptly did it again.

Re: Pick down

I keep loads of spare picks in my back right pocket for that very reason....drop one? No biggie. Just reach back and grab a new one. Hard to do if you play sitting down though.

Re: Pick down

Fit a "Feedback Buster" into the sound hole and you'll never loose another pick in there again

Re: Pick down

Ok guys. Here is a funny video on how to remove your pick from the guitar.

Re: Pick down

I mostly drop picks while playing electric...for some reason I don't have that problem on acoustic. Maybe 'cuz I'm up and jumping around like a moron on the electric. smile

Re: Pick down

I just leave em in the soundhole, after a while there are enough picks inside so that if ya need one, just turn it over and at least two picks are sure to fall out.

Live in the "now" - a contentment of the moment - the past is gone - the future doesn't exist - all we ever really have is now and it's always "now".
