There's a passage in the song that has a lot of fast paced palm muted notes on the 2 low strings which is followed by an Artificial Harmonic. My problem is that when I'm strumming away the pick keeps moving farther back into my hand, and by time the Artficial Harmonic comes up the pick is way out of position. I don't know, mabey I'm strumming too hard or I'm holding the pick wrong? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Try washing your hands and cleaning your pick off . IF that doesnt help. Get a Pick with some grip!! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Is not because of holding the pick wrong or anything. I think it takes time, and experience to get it where you dpnt lose your pick. Also greasy hands and stuff. But see I can go up and handle the pick just fine, maybe even better when my hands are kinda sweaty (Thats how i can tell there nice a ready to JAM). Thats what guitar is all about. Practice Practice Practice. Eventually youll get it to where it doesnt slip. Thats just IMO You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I used to have this problem a lot with my old Fender picks, but when I switched to Claytons the problem went away. These are the picks I normally use, check this link out and see if you can find these picks at your nearest Guitar Center, Sam Ash, etc. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Cla...icks?sku=110419 Edit: Woah, reading those reviews I didn't even know how good they really were. Picking them up out of random, I assumed they were decent. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
