To this day, my pick falls out of my thumb and first finger after a few measures of strumming. I am ready to super glue the pick to my thumb. Any help will be greatly apprciated.

Hi bluz47,

There's no reason why your pick should be falling out of your hand when strumming. You're either picking too hard, or not holding the pick strong enough. Remember, when youre strumming, you want to glide the tip of the pick over the strings, and that's it. Don't overthink it!

It's always good to refresh yourself on the basics, too. Check out this lesson by Lisa on using a pick: https://www.guitartricks.com/lesson.php?input=22136&s_id=1777
