This is something I need to learn to do
Pick rotating in my fingers
This happens to me some. I’m not trying to upsell you, but I love this stuff: https://store.banjobenclark.com/products/gorilla-snot-pick-grip
Here’s the pick pics, best I could do holding phone with my left hand.
Was wondering what that stuff was, never got around to reading the description. Great name, but it kind of implies the opposite; snot, gorilla or whatever, is generally pretty slippery isn’t it?
No, just a dab will make your finger quite tacky, and it also sticks to your pick just enough to last for quite a while!
Cool, I’ll try it.
Love your toes!

Don’t take that wrong. I seriously thought they were Ben’s toes, and I was joking. Sometimes my brain gets a bit weird.
I thought everyone knew Ben wore blue toenail polish.

There’s just so much junk in the news recently, a guy doesn’t know how to act.

Yeah, I get it. You guys can’t win for losing. Just for future reference, I’m old school; it’s pretty hard to offend me. But, something you may say to me in fun may offend someone else. Its gotten out of hand, they’ve ruined it for all of us.

Aw…
Miss Maggie, your grip looks really good to me. Some might argue that you could have a little less pick exposed, but I am pretty similar to the way you do are holding it. Gorilla snot sounds like it would be worth a try. I’ll get some on my next order too. Until you get it in, I sometimes wash my BC picks and dry them to remove oils that might have accumulated (and it seems to help).
I agree… nice toes!

From this third picture, I would rotate the pick clockwise a tad, until it’s point is at right angles with your thumb. Then tuck you index finger just a tad in tighter, until it doesn’t show past your thumb. Then change your hand angle to compensate. That is how I hold my pick, and I used to hold it almost exactly like that, but changed to get more surface area on the pick, like this,

@Maggie If you watch @BanjoBen 's videos closely you will see him do what I do. He licks his fingers just before he starts to play his guitar or mandolin. Disgusting I know but the saliva stops the pick slipping.

Only when you do these two actions together
