Plectrums

[Ian Price]

Why do they always go missing? I stopped playing the guitar for a few secs to post a few responses on here and my plectrum has gone. Nobody else in the room, just me and my guitars and a PC. It always happens and is now starting to annoy me. Even though I know it won't be there I have looked under the keyboard about a dozen times.

Does anyone else suffer from this?

[Ian Price]

Found it. Panic over. It was stuck to the bottom of my forearm!

Oh my god all the time. I had three when I moved back home, I now have one.

Also sometimes i put them in my mouth when practicing so I can type or something, then forget where it is.

I started to buy them in bags of 25 or so, suddenly I never lose them.


$%&#ing typical.

Picks go to the place where your socks go after you put them in the washing machine.

The speed and rotating action of objects in a washing mahine or a pick tumbling to the ground creates an opening in space-time or a paralel dimension.

What confuses me is the fact that after I've lost a load, they all seem to start turning back up at the same time.  It's like lighters. I either have none, or about 15.

+1

But I'd rather this than not finding them all the time!!

Plus I use 3mm stubby triangles (not "big stubbys", which are in fact small!!), and I'll be damned if I can find anything usable if I lose those bad boys. With a bag of 25 knocking about, I'm never without :)

I used to lose them all the time. Then I bought a stone pick for $25. Never lost it even for a day.

Incidentally, is the plural of plectrum, plectra?

I don't think I've ever lost a plectrum. I've been using the same one for about 3 years now :P It's a real goodun.

Impossible! I must have been through hundreds.
