just slowly tilt it until you get the pick right below the soundhole, Than you flip it upside down real fast.
Exactly, you tape and pencil people, while mcgyverish, are making this way to hard, just get it so you can see it and flip it over, no fabricating of contraptions is necessary!!!!!!!!!!
Ahh plght! The flip technique does not always work the first try and there is too much of a chance of something bad happening to the guitar. No, seriously, bad sh*t always happens to me when my guitar is out of the case.
Youre all crazy, and you gotta take it out to play it, just dont drop it when you flip it, ITS REALLY EASY
Do it how you want,I dont care, just seems silly to go run and make a little device when it is soooooo easy without one, I mean, you gotta get the pick below the sound hole to get it with the device anyway, once you get it there, just flip it!! :lol:

This is the last I'll mention of this, I promise.

I keep a special device around for such dilemmas and I maintain that using a pencil with a small amount of tape on the end beats flipping and twisting anyday.

Some people like to smoke a bowl and some don't but it's okay it's meant to be that way, yeah.

Put a vacuum cleaner on the soundhole and you'll get it VERY VERY quickly!!!

never to find it again
Forget about the reasons and the treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that our emotions can be swept away, kept at bay
Forget about being guilty, we are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away

For using the flip technique;

Be sure there are no ceiling fans directly above you. Disasters can occur.

Just keep dropping picks in there and after you have enough you can shake your guitar around and do your own percussion lol.
Or you could just do what I do and stop using picks altogether.
