Never drop your pick agian

teyoung

I started playing violin recently and realized bow rosin is perfect for helping to hold on to a guitar pick. I suffer from dry hands this time of year and always found it more difficult to not loose the pick or feel like I'm gonna lose it but with just a little rosin you get a great grip without it feeling like its glued to you (I find myself rearranging the pick occasionally when switching from solo to rhythm so its nice to still have control) anyway I hope this helps some of you who suffer with the problem of dropping the pick ,bow rosin is pretty cheap give it a try.

These little pads work great. They have a rubbery surface for good grippage. You just stick them on your pick. Plus I cut them down into smaller circles and get about 3 dots out of each one. They're made by Cool Picks. Cost about $7.95 for a sheet.
Swang on,

I would like to second the bow rosin as a great and inexpensive method to get the pick to stay in between your thumb and finger. It's a lot less messy than gorillasnot. Although not quite as sticky, it's sticky enough and feels more natural. Just rubbing your thumb and index finger together a few times will get the stuff off when you don't want or need it. With gorillasnot, you can't touch anything with your pick hand until you remove it from your skin, and it takes a lot more effort to get the stickiness off your skin. However, I did learn a neat trick to get gorillasnot off cleanly: rub your fingers in a little vegtable oil and then wipe off. But who wants to carry around vegtable oil? Go with the bow rosin. You won't be disappointed.

I still use bow rosin if I am going to play a lot of rhythm in public :oops:

Consider me a convert. I didn't like Gorilla snot, just felt too weird and couldn't "feel" the pick well.

On the other hand, I don't like having to have an army of picks nearby.

Like tonight, for instance. :oops:
