I’ve always got a plectrum or two stuck inside my acoustics at all times. I usually wait until I can’t find a pick, then go retrieve them all from the belly of an acoustic. I tend to lose fewer of them when I keep them “stored” inside the soundhole!
I just recently lost one inside the “F hole” of my telecaster thinline. Didn’t think it was possible. That one will certainly be harder to retrieve.

You should make a compilation of every time you drop a pick into your guitar. I'd watch that

Saw a video of just ripping a crazy solo while on someone’s shoulders in the crowd. Blew me away

Watching someone like Justin struggling to get his pick out the guitar is the best thing ever.

Plectrum retrieval tip: stick some Blu-tak on the end of a pencil then you can easily reach, grab and retrieve the plectrum from the sound hole. Job done.

I thought The Darkness was a novelty act.
How wrong was I ?
Not a lot..

I have two questions: How did this idea of doing these JHRA videos come about? And when are you going to do The Smiths? I need an education on them. What's so fascinating?

Always leave 3 or 4 in the guitar. You never know when you will lack a pick.
@spiderfan1974

If you drop your pick inside of your acoustic another way to get it is tune your A, D, G and B string down and reach in and get it with your hand.

Thanks; I love Taylor’s music, Red Light Fever was what I was listening to none stop around when I got married, which contrary to everybody’s dream-like ideas of a wedding is (or can be) just about the most stressful thing a couple can do aside from maybe moving house, and songs like Hell to Pay were just absolutely epic and in part summed up how my wife and I felt, and the relief of when it was over and we finally got to just enjoy a bit of time going away alone. Get the Money was also a great album that deserves wider recognition. But, really really hope you can do ‘Bob Quit His Job’ from the KOTA EP! My son loves that song 😎
