Droppin the Soap-I mean the pick.

Does anyone else have trouble keeping a good grip on the pick? I usually only have trouble when i'm playing for someone else, or so it seems. I especially have trouble when playing the doubled outro to the stone. Any advice? Thanks.

I drop it when not playing sadly...

I personally don't have a problem holding onto the pick but some of my friends use Gorilla Snot.

I do if I hold it the "right way" its to loose for me, I hold it with my thumb, index and middle. It may be wrong but it feels right to me and I dont see a need to change, plus I never drop it that way and just feel a lot more in control.

Thanks for the replies, unfortunetely jsgksu i already hold the pick that way. I noticed that if its cold in the house that my hands are alittle slick. So i turned the heater up and we'll see

I almost always use nylon picks so it alleviates most of the problem, but gorilla snot is good stuff.

Teeheehee....he said Gorrilla Snot....

Just shove a bunch in your pockets! I noticed that Jason Mraz drops pics a whole lot, but then just whips one out of his back pocket smooth as hell...

Yep, but for me no matter what I'm playing after about 5 minutes I'll look down and notice I'm playing with the back of the pick. Some where in there it got tuned around in my fingers.

I never really drop it though. I use Dunlop Torex (reds) picks, and they seem to just naturally stick to my fingers. I also have some "Brain" picks. These things are awesome, they have a grip on them that feels like sand paper. If you drop one of those, you have issues.
