How
to hold a guitar pick

How to
hold a guitar pick
If you want to learn how to play guitar, then you are going to need to
know how to hold a guitar pick. By this point in your learning
process, you should have acquired a pick from somewhere. You will
probably want to purchase a few for yourself since they are easy to lose
and misplace and they are pretty inexpensive. You can usually get one
for under $0.50.
When choosing a guitar pick, you may want to experiment with different
shapes and brands. It is recommended that you start with medium gauge
picks. These aren't too flimsy or too hard so you should do well with
them. There are also many other types and styles of picks.
Directions:
Open your "picking hand" and turn the palm so that it faces you.
Next, close your hand and make a loose fist. Your thumb should remain
beside your index finger.
Rotate your hand until you are looking at its profile with your thumb's
knuckle facing you.
With your other hand, slide your guitar pick between your
thumb and index finger. The pick should be located behind the knuckle
of the thumb.
Be sure the pointed end of the pick is pointing directly away from
your fist and hold the pick firmly.
Position your hand over the sound hole of your acoustic guitar
or over the body of an electric guitar. Your hand with thumb knuckle still
facing you should hover over the strings.
Don't rest your hand on the strings or body of the guitar.
Using your wrist for motion instead of your entire arm. Pick the 6 th
string in a downwards motion.
Then pick the sixth string in an upwards motion.
Repeat the process several times to get a good feel for the sound.
Try the same exercise on the other strings.
You will learn more about picking and how to hold your pick
as you continue to play and perform better. But the more you learn early
on and the better you are at the basics, the easier everything will be
for you later on.
Another important part of the basics besides how to hold your pick
is how to hold the entire guitar. Proper position is very important
to how you play. You need to learn proper sitting position and also where
to put both of your hands. You need to get comfortable with this positioning
before you will be able to play properly.
