Snot. I just love the word snot. I was laughing so much, I've snotted all down my best tee shirt! Scooped it up in a jar, going to see if it stops me dropping my picks. ;o)

Snot is my second favourite word. Soundholesniffer is my favourite. Soliloquy is nice too, not much call for it in my world though! ;o)

+1 for V-Picks. They're magic, and relatively inexpensive. No snot required, human or gorilla.

Guys, I am blown away by the shear number of you trying to help me here. I have been on many other forums for other hobbies, etc. but you lot are amazing. I never expected so many kind, helpful suggestions.

Humbled and proud to be on this forum.

Thank you all!

Peter

Try these. Joe Bonamassa and I use them. He's a little better than I am, though.

Default dropping pick

I did the hole in the pick which helped, but then after a few months of using the pick I noticed I no longer drop it. Part of it is muscle memory. If you keep at it I think you will find you no longer drop it, it just happens.
