GMC Forum _ PRACTICE ROOM _ Picks Troubles
Posted by: Bogdan Feb 27 2008, 12:28 AM
Are you loosing picks all the time ? Do you carry one with you wherever you go ?? Where do you hold your picks ?
I don't use pick when playing much but I have a special place for them to carry all around.I put two picks behind the battery door in my cell phone 
Since I never go without it anywhere they are always with me..I haven't lost one in a long time because of this.But I tend to forget them on the amp in the practice room.I always feel very happy to find them (even its just the pick) next week when I get there (its public practice room) but that is not always the case..Only problem is when I drop my phone and it hits the ground , picks are all over the place

OH MAN, have I lost my nerves so many times loosing picks! Now i just have a small box on top of my amp and every time I quit playing I keep telling myself "Put all the picks back in the box!" plus I have this really small pocket kinda inside my right pocket on my jeans and I keep 1-2 picks there

I keep loosing them and i have NO clue where they go as my house aint that big.
That cellphone idea was great. I just tried it, but didnt work on mine.. it's way too slim. No room for anything in there

I bought about 300 picks lol and have them at work, at friends, at home in draws, in all trousers pockets, in wallet and on floor everywhere. If I have a guitar there will be a pick around. I lose picks and I like to give them out to people that I know who are starting guitar who don't have much money.

Too bad , mine is siemens cx65 and I can fit two in there
I guess its not applicable to all phones because of different designs..

I have loads kicking around all over the place, I got a little pot by the computer thats got a load in, usually a few in my jeans pocket, can generally find one or two in the filter bit of the washing machine and I got a bag in my gig bag that I keep a huge stash of picks

I actually got a pick holder that goes onto a strap and has some in a line of 6, and that works well for me if I lose one in the middle of playing.
You could always just learn to finger-pick everything... 
Besides that, the wallet trick definitely works.

Keep them on my amp most of the time but tend to put them everywhere, got a pickup holder for the guitar for present, and from them on I tend to keep them there. It's a useful device!

Exactly ... best place ever !!

I hold my pick in my hand all day long
I only put it aside when I take a shower or when I go to sleep
Sometimes I think I lost my pick and then I'm searching for it everywhere,
but in most casses I still have it in my hand

Ps; Am I the only one who holds his pick in his hand all day long?

What do you do when you have lunch or play sports (basketball)
Its cool to have it all the time with you surly..
I too tend to search for things that I have in my hands or head

In Dutch they use the word Pik for ummh...
