So I play guitar. I had a problem where I would sometimes drop my pick. Then, one day, I had an idea. I took some copper wire and attached it to a pick through a small hole I burned into it with a needle. I wrapped the wire around my finger. Now I physically cannot drop my pick.
I used to do this with a piece of thread
"I laugh in the face of ground faults!"
By Vectron, you're right!
Seen it before... watched it again anyway. Praise Vectron!
By vectron's creaky ankle that's a great video!
Be careful where you drop your pick, by Vectron!
I bought a pack of thumb picks out of curiosity and I actually really like them. I don’t use them every time I play but they’re nice to have.
You just made these things obsolete.
I've got one of these. They're great for if you accidentally drop your pick.
They are not, however, a goddamn pick souvenir dispenser! No, you can't have a free pick you skeezy little jerk! Get off my stage!
I thought that's so you can throw picks at the audience
Actually they are just for looking like a big rock star that can afford to throw away a fistful of picks every night.
I've had the same picks for about ten years but I was always under the impression you could get like forty or fifty of the aesthetically-pleasing ones for like three bucks
What could a pick cost, 20 dollars!?
That’s without counting the extra money spent on replacing strings, I’m sure using this kind of thing regularly would seriously shorten their lifespan.
