Picks Plectra

Guitar picks are small and you can put them away anywhere. The question is where to put them so you won't lose them? We will cover the different places to save your favorite guitar pick and make sure that you keep it in good shape for the next gig.

This article is meant to be funny with a serious note to it. You can always buy a new plectrum, maybe you can find the same colour and size. But it will never be the pick you just lost! Some people build a good relationship with a plectrum and when they break up it hurts. Might sound silly, but I have seen grown men weep!

To make sure that you don't have to go through all these painful emotions I have noted a couple places for you to stash your guitar pick.

Wallet

Most people put a one in their wallet. So when they go to a guitar store to try out a new guitar they always have a pick of their own. One they are used to and which gives them they sound they like.

On your guitar

Always put a one at the end of the neck on your guitar. Do you know how annoying it is to look for a plectrum when you hear a great riff and all you want to do is play it. Imagine grabbing your guitar and you want to play along with that Van Halen song that's on the radio. But there is no pick.......

Chew on them

Whether you are cutting back on cigarettes or you like chewing gum a lot, you could also consider chewing guitar picks. When you hear that Van Halen song again all you need to do is pick up a guitar. Assuming that you have one within reach. And I wouldn't suggest that you start chewing guitars as well, because that would be a bit silly. Wouldn't it?

The bank

Imagine that you are completely broke. And you are kicked out of your house with nothing to wear but the clothes you are wearing right now. Check your pants for plectrums. Do you have any? They probably left with the movers right? And you kept your favorite one in the pants your ex girl friend just burned? Wouldn't it be great to have one stashed in a little metal box at the bank? I think so.

Now you know where to keep your guitar pick when you don't want to lose it.

I am always working on a blog on guitar picks where you can read more about this amazing little piece of guitar equipment. Enjoy playing and check out my other articles on plectrums.
