What’s your “I can’t believe other people don’t do this” hack?

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.

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.

Be careful where you drop your pick, by Vectron!
