Thread Name: Slippy Thumb Plectrum
Subject: RE: Slippy Thumb Plectrum
Sure, all ya need is an electric drill, the pick, a small self-tapping screw and yer thumb... Works like a charm...

Awww, jus' funnin'...

Yer pick it too big, Deskz... Get a smaller one or reshape the one you have... BTW, does yer thumb really sweat???

But seriously, as all pickers know, finger and thumb picks do have minds of their own and will occasionally try to escape... Over the years I've learned the little tricks to prevent that while I'm performing... Ya' just have to do them in time with the song... I also have a bottleneck that has on oaccasion tried to make a break for freedom especially when my fingers are as puffy but I have tricks for it, too... Wish I could tell you exactly what it is that I do but it's kinda insticntual and I don't think enough about it when it happenes to understand or expalin... Maybe someone wlse can talk about these tricks who has actually studied the mechanics of how to make adjustments to fickle picks while playin'... All I know is that I can do it???
