Members seagullplayer77 Posted December 9, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 9, 2008 I think that black hole exists in the homes of anyone that owns a guitar (that uses a pick). I sure would like to know where they come out at! Probably some guitar shop somewhere in the midwest.....I'll bet there's an alternate universe at the other end of all those black holes...A place where the only form of precipitation is guitar picks of varying shapes, thicknesses, and colors. To quote a kid's song, "Oh, what a rain that would be!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sangemon Posted December 9, 2008 Members Share Posted December 9, 2008 I have all manner of picks all over the place, and I hardly ever use any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members melandy Posted December 9, 2008 Members Share Posted December 9, 2008 Usually on one of these doohickeys. I use the picks with the star shaped hole in the middle, which my toddler has taken to hanging on the tuner capstans while I'm playing. Or she pitches them into the sound hole, as another poster mentioned. -A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members austikins Posted December 9, 2008 Members Share Posted December 9, 2008 one in my wallet, a few in lost throughout the house, five or six in my guitar case, and about 20 in an altoids tin in my cable bag. i used to lose them a lot, but since i started using the altoids tin i have lost significantly less. during shows i have one that i use that can go from my pocket to my mouth, to playing. i also stick a coulpe between my vocal mic and the mic clip in case i drop my main one.

Members austikins Posted December 9, 2008 Members Share Posted December 9, 2008 My three-year-old daughter seems to think they're supposed to be kept in the sound hole.one time at a show i pressed my feedback buster too hard into place and it fell in (it was a battle of the bands and i was really nervous). it bumped around inside for all three of the songs i played. i could see my wife laughing when it happened.

Members Bubbalou Posted December 9, 2008 Members Share Posted December 9, 2008 I must have oral fixations. I always have at least one in my mouth. Before that it was toothpicks; before that, sugarless Bubble Yum (peppermint flavor) and before that, cigarettes. And way before that, my thumb. It's great when you play out. It's always right there when you switch from fingerstyle to picking. But I also have lots of picks stashed in little handmade ceramic bowls in the two rooms at home that I play in most often. If I didn't do that, I'd have to keep buying new ones every week. So, have you found an acceptable substitue for your thumb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeepEnd Posted December 9, 2008 Members Share Posted December 9, 2008 I keep mine in my guitar case long-term. When I'm going to be playing and the guitar is either lying sitting on the stand or, occasionally, lying in the case, I stick one between the high strings at about the third fret. I put it back there when I'm finished unless I'm packing up the guitar, in which instance I put the pick in the case. Every great once in a while, I put one in my pocket and if I'm playing at home I leave one on a table or the arm of the sofa. I do, however, have to be careful that the dog doesn't get hold of it because she'll chew it up. I still have one that barely survived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members garthman Posted December 9, 2008 Members Share Posted December 9, 2008 I keep one on each guitar stuck between the strings on the headstock just behind the nut - but I don't use them much - I fingerpick mostly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bitt81 Posted December 9, 2008 Members Share Posted December 9, 2008 There is one wedged at the first fret of all three of my acousitics but I also has something like this on my keychain just in case... !

Members Michael Martin Posted December 9, 2008 Members Share Posted December 9, 2008 So, have you found an acceptable substitue for your thumb? Yes! At last! I think picks is it. Because I have to buy them anyway, because they don't get used up, and because you never know when you'll want one for playing guitar. It's not even hard to sing with one or more in-mouth. Best for the mouth are the ones with holes in the center--on the off-chance that one gets lodged in the trachea...hasn't ever happened, but I'd hate to go out that way.

Members scottgd Posted December 9, 2008 Members Share Posted December 9, 2008 A lot of my picks seem to find out where the one sock is hiding. Where that is I have no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mjuenem Posted December 10, 2008 Members Share Posted December 10, 2008 Cost me $35.00 to have a pick removed from washing machine pump:facepalm: ! I have one of these:cool:. Now there's an idea for a stocking stuffer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members boxorox Posted December 12, 2008 Members Share Posted December 12, 2008 Watch pocket of my jeans. My music store gave me a leather key fob that holds picks, and I keep some in there, but I forget I have them. But I always have them. I used to keep one in the strings, but that bends them over time and makes them hard to play with. Danged crookedy picks. Never buy pants without a watch pocket. I'm serious.

Members PanaDP Posted December 12, 2008 Members Share Posted December 12, 2008 Mine get so far all over the place that one time in college I went to a friend's place to play and when I asked him for a pick he handed me one and said, "Here, I think this is yours anyway." That same thing seemed to happen fairly often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
