    So I play guitar. I had a problem where I would sometimes drop my pick. Then, one day, I had an idea. I took some copper wire and attached it to a pick through a small hole I burned into it with a needle. I wrapped the wire around my finger. Now I physically cannot drop my pick.

      You just made these things obsolete.

        I thought that’s so you can throw picks at the audience

          Actually they are just for looking like a big rock star that can afford to throw away a fistful of picks every night.

            What could a pick cost, 20 dollars!?

                That’s without counting the extra money spent on replacing strings, I’m sure using this kind of thing regularly would seriously shorten their lifespan.

        I’ve got one of these. They’re great for if you accidentally drop your pick.

        They are not, however, a goddamn pick souvenir dispenser! No, you can’t have a free pick you skeezy little jerk! Get off my stage!

      I bought a pack of thumb picks out of curiosity and I actually really like them. I don’t use them every time I play but they’re nice to have.
