Get The Free Magic Pick Holder Trick

When you switch to play a finger picking style after playing with a pick half way through a song or a lick what do you do with the plectrum? Some people put it down – but that takes time, needs somewhere in range to place it and it’s not always easy to find it again when you return to a plectrum section.

Some people put it in their mouths, in between their teeth, however its not hygienic, you could swallow it (don’t even think of the consequences of it’s return) and if you sing, well that’s going to be a non-starter. The MAGIC pick holder is built into your middle finger. If you squeeze the pick between the 2 bends of the middle finger it should stay and be firm enough not to come out even with a good shake of the strumming hand.
Homework:
If you practice a few minutes every day to go from holding the plectrum normally to the magic holding position and back again you should eventually be able to do this move with ease and this will certainly aid your pick and fingerpicking playing.
