Hello. I wonder if anyone could give me some ideas of what to do with your pick when transitioning from strumming (with a pick) to fingerpicking (without a pick). Right now I typically put my pick in my mouth while I am fingerpicking. However, I'd like to be able to sing while I'm playing. I've seen some people "hide" their pick in the palm of their hand, etc. However, it's not clear to me how you would do that. Thanks.

This tutorial is not solely about how to do that. But, I do cover it in the course of dealing with some of the riffs:

I usually put the pick behind the wristlet of my watch.

Thanks for the tips, folks. I don't have a pickguard on my guitar so I'm going to work on putting the pick between my fingers as suggested....
