Where's my pick?

[Andrew Kuder]

So, I have a question. Does anybody else CONSTANTLY have no picks available to use? And, where is the weirdest place you’ve ever lost/found a pick? For me… I think the weirdest place I’ve lost one is through a sidewalk crack… and the weirdest place I’ve found one is inside my little brothers stuffed animal, my little brother his them there so he could find me a pick the next time I was wondering through asking everyone in my family if they had seen one.

When you’re playing an acoustic guitar and it gets lost in the hole….. true pain.

I once found a pick a year later after I lost it

I lost a pick about a week ago I only had one and I was so bummed out. Hopped in the shower later and it was in my hair.

Invest in a pick holder and stick it on the side of your amp, as long as you always remember to put the pick back in it once your finished playing you’ll rarely lose a pick again

I have bought them before, but when the tape started to wear out I lost the pick holder too…. All hope is lost!

I actually still have all of my picks! I constantly lose them, but I always end up finding them later, so I still have every pic I’ve ever owned. I normally lose them by dropping them or knocking them off of tables or something. I’ll find them under furniture and laying around on the ground

Lost the pick holder too?! maybe you’re just destined to play fingerstyle

I’ve always a pick in my wallet… just in case…

My daughter’s diaper. Apparently she stuffed one of my picks in there while I was looking for another one. Good thing it was only #1 when I changed her.

I have a lot of picks lost on my bed
Its like they want to sleep with me xD

I gave up on trying to find them all the time. Now I buy 20 or so at a time, there is always one close by now..

Lmao don’t know if I’d want that one back Juan.

Andrew, this was baby #4 so I’ve been attacked by plenty of pee, poo, and vomit. I had a sacrificial ceremony for the pick and said a few words. Then sent it off with the best solo this beginner guitarist could manage. LOL

One time I dropped a pick an almost empty room. It took me 1 hour to find it under the carpet, after I check it like 5 times. Sometimes i just think that they are possessed by the god of annoyance.

Heh, this thread and its responses are gold. I keep all my picks laying on top of my amp head, but I’ve lost plenty over the years in a variety of head-scratching means. It’s to the point now that when I have a new bag of 70+ picks, I’ll always take out the first one and just toss it on the floor or under the bed to get that “lost pick” out of the way.
…though, I can’t say whether my preemptive method had been any success or not. Just makes me feel better mentally.
