Does anybody have a problem with
picks? Like seriously I swear they fly outta my hand like it's their life's mission. 🙄
It actually caused me to switch to fingerpick. Trying to regularly strum a guitar with no pick hurts but seriously would rather split my fingers than have another pick fly out of my hand. Their are tons of Guitarists who just don't use em, and I don't think I will either.. lol
Pick or no Pick? Tis the question ig.
- Bass guitarist here, I use a pick! :3 I do have a suggestion based on my experience with picks though.
My coordination and strum power is much better with a pick, plus it doesn't hurt my hands and wrists nearly as much as playing fingerstyle. Always had an issue keeping picks in my hands too, ended up using a larger triangle shaped one. However it was a musician of I forget which band (Devour the Day maybe?) who inspired me to use one type of pick in particular ; D'Addario Duragrip.
I nabbed a 1.20mm at a concert near the front barricade, not signed or anything so I ended up using it. Realized it made picking 10x easier because of the grip on it. So I stopped using the old ones and now I buy the 1.50mm Duragrips. (Because it works better with bass strings.) They come in thinner sizes too. I'd advise checking them out.
