Repositoning pick from 4/5th finger to regular position

October 15, 2007 by Chris

My question to all of you guitarists out there is, does anyone out there place their guitar picks in between their 4th and 5th (consider their thumb as 1st finger etc.) finger while using their remaining fingers to play bare finger picking during certain parts of a song?

I’ve been trying different ways to bring the pick from the 4/5th fingers up to the regular position for years with very slow results.

I am just missing a fine detailed part of the process to make it flow effortlessly.

Can anyone out their give me a different aspect on how to do this?

If someone knows of a video on line to assist me I’d be in their debt forever.

Keep on Jammin’

    Have you considered just holding it between your 2nd and 3rd fingers? You lose very little dexterity on these fingers and it’s easier to a) transfer to picking position and b) hold on to the pick.

    I have been working on that one for the last 2 weeks or so and I have pretty much nailed it there Lucas! I’ve been just walking around the house and at work while doing so and I just have to use it while playing now.

    We’ve been very busy lately and my axe is feeling a wee bit ignored but I’ll make it up to her when I get back from Vegas.

    Thanx for your input!

    Keep on Jammin’
