Pick in the soundhole!!!!!!!

Alright all you guitarists out there, who knows the best was to get a pick out of the soundhole of a guitar when it falls in?? I've always just held the axe upside down and shake it like a polaroid, but is there a better technique that I should try???

I just spent 10 mins shaking my fucking guitar!!! :evil:

I either do that, or wait till I change my strings and go in after it.

shake it around while looking in the soundhole until you see it directly below the soundhole, as centered as possible, then flip the guitar upside down in a way that doesnt let it go flying off somewhere else, shouldnt be too hard, it never takes me more than 20 seconds to get one out

that's what I do too.. just get it in the center and give it a quick flip above your head

if it doesnt prevent you from the sound you like, get a soundhole feedback cover(the little rubber things). theyll help you sound better plugged in because they decrease the feedback, and even tho youll not be as loud unplugged, you wont drop your pick in there anymore.

I think I got mine for like $8. Need one for my 12 string cause it gets feedback like a mofo.

That happens to me alot. I jus take a a pen or marker or watever then fold a piece of tape so both sides are sticky place it on the pen and then shake the guitar until you find the pick then slowly pick it up with the taped pen...Alot of directions. Sorry

All good tips, I know this problem has probably been plaguing guitarists for centuries now.
