I use .88 Tortex picks and put clear high-gloss tape on them. This stuff is the best stickiness for me, way better than any texture or sandpaper-esque stuff they put on picks. I used to use "cool" picks, they have a variety of textures, but still not sticky enough!

I just use one of those thingies you attach to the mic stand and load it up with picks. So if I do drop one, I got another right there.

I started doing this about thirty years ago; I don't remember why. I suspect I read about it in an interview with someone like Tony Rice. Anyway, it's easy, fast, and cheap cheap cheap. Did I say it was cheap? Take a spool of white cotton medical tape and tear off about an inch, let lay it along both sides of the pick sticky side down against the pick face, like this: It does two things: 1) It remains sticky for quite a long time. When it gets old, just peel off and replace. 2) More importantly, it absorbs the oils and sweat from you fingers; the cotton acts as a whisk to accomplish this. BTW, make sure the tape is 100% COTTON. They have these cheap ones now that are polyester or something. 100% cotton gives it the absorption you need. Looks stupid? Sounds stupid? Try it and see if it doesn't work. Scott Memmer |

Add another fan of Dava picks. My hands are extremely dry, especially in the winter. I can hang onto a Dava with the rubber grip better than anything else. I've tried a bunch of the picks mentioned in this thread, and nothing works as well for me as a Dava.

For instance I like the look of the Guitar Moose grip stick-ons but they are $20 a pack but can only be used on 10 picks total! That's insanity! |

Well...I have Dava, Guitar Moose, and V-Picks on the way. Already tried a few other generic grippy picks from GC yesterday to mediocre results. We'll see how these more specialty options work.
Thanks again...

That is great info, thank you. I "might" check them out at some point just for kicks.

I like Dunlop Max-Grip picks too, the grippiest picks I've found so far. They are common enough, so even my local music store offers them.

Mojo Grip
I couldn't hold onto picks. I was told I was holding it wrong, but holding it "right" just didn't work for me. I tried all sorts of solutions until I found the Mojo Grip. It's a rubber grip that the classic shape pick of your choice slides into. It adds thickness, grittiness, and you can use the pick of your choice.
For $3 your problems could be solved: https://www.pickworld.com/mojogrips
