- In this video, I show you a quick way to get more grip on your guitar pick to help keep you from dropping it or to keep it from shifting around as you play. What I do is simply drill a couple small holes in my pick, which allows for a lot more stabilization as you hold it. It is pretty easy to do, but it is kinda tricky to get the holes in there. I hope you enjoyed this tip. Let me know if you have any other tips on how to keep a solid grip on your pick.
Thanks for watching!

His education includes years of college and private instruction with a variety of teachers, including Mitch Holder, Ted Greene, Joe Pass, and Charlie Shoemake, to name a few. He feels education is a continuing process, there's always more to learn. Wes Montgomery, Joe Pass, Howard Roberts, Ted Greene, and Larry Carleton have all influenced his playing.

Touring for three years with "Dick Clark's Good Old Rock and Roll Show," he had the opportunity to perform with Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry, Little Anthony, and many other great, old-time rock and rollers.
After moving his family to the Yosemite/Fresno area, he taught guitar and directed the jazz band at Fresno Pacific University for two years. Being a well-rounded player, Rich is comfortable playing a variety of styles, including jazz (his favorite), blues, rock, fusion, country, and solo fingerstyle. He performs at local venues in a number of different scenarios, as a solo guitarist, with his jazz trio or quartet or smooth jazz quintet.

Thank you for these suggestions. I bought some raised picks and they still slipped. Now I'm going to try the holes. Thanks again!!
I use Gibson and Fender tear drop picks and just wrap the top half in Sellotape - glossy side up and strangely that works for me.
Great tip...we " experienced" dudes( old) need tips like this!
I find keeping some violin rosin and sandpaper helps a lot I just sand of a little bit and then rub it between my index finger and thumb seems to help a lot
I like the Dunlop jazz picks. They have a texture and for me are slip proof. Thanks for the tip wilk try it on my Fender Extra Heavy picks.
Mr.Severson, first of all I LOVE YOUR PLAYING. It's a treat to watch and listen to. Can you tell me what guitar strings that you are using they don't look like any I've seen before? Thanks.
Thanks for sharing these tips.
There are also textured picks out there
Use the little machine to punch holes in paper!
I drill a 1/4 “ hole in the center 😊
Looks like you are playing an ES-125, I have one as well,1951. To my untrained jazz guitar ear, the ES-125 is cooler than ES-175.
I have come to really like Dava picks. Perforated rubber cover on part of the pick keeps it from moving around. And they made them out of different materials. Unsolicited testimonial as I buy all my own stuff. Shally
Thanks for the recommendation, Shally!
Great tip but it ruins the resale value of the pick 🤓
I believe George Benson used a Guild just like that early in his career.
Maybe try that without holding a +$3,000 guitar? Just a thought, Rich! ;)
why you holding the guitar when you doing this?! 😅
you hang in there with those jokes ....sueooner or later.....
WARNING! Never drill plastic, or brass, with a regular drill bit. Very dangerous and it will catch as it did in this video. You MUST use a zero rake bit. You can modify your bit into a zero rake bit by flattening the cutting edge on a sharpening stone. PLEASE do not use a common wood bit. Zero rake bit only for your safety!!! Search Zero Rake Bit
Thanks for the tip David!!
Just use "Cool" picks. They're already gripped for your pleasure....lol
Response to your sit down/stand up..Two thirds of a pun.. P U...
Pat thanks again for your 55 ford model
Very kind of you
