How do you stop losing your guitar picks?

[fogcutter]

I keep them in this Kennedy-era ashtray which belonged to my grandparents. It's swanky, and I like to keep a variety in there for all the esteemed and diverse visitors to my abode.

I don't lose them......I give them to all of my adoring fans.

In reality, I don't play outside of my house. Therefore, I lose them.

 

[MrBouleDeBowling]

I don't. Buying a pickholder or getting 75 packs just prolongs the inevitable.

 

[Taylor]

Because if you're going to be metal as .... you gotta do it right.

My problem is that I'm not losing them, but all the picks I use wear out extremely fast and they become unplayable for me!

After switching to jazz III tortex, this is no longer an issue for me personally.

I put them in the pocket on my left buttcheek, between 5 to 10 picks...I can always perceive where they are, and if the trousers are tight enough I can even count them.
I usually don't lose them unless I pick up my trousers in the wrong way...then it's pick rain

I have 4

a soft one for strumming, a hard one for riffing, and a pair of Jazz lll's which are my main ones

I. CANT. FVCKING. LOSE THEM.

I've come to the conclusion that the only way to not lose your picks is to throw them all away and play exclusively classical guitar. If I own a pick, I WILL lose it.

guitar picks are so easy to lose!

 

[sleewell]

just buy more when you buy strings. they are cheap.

I "borrowed" a plastic container my mom bought for her extra buttons when I once visited, it has separate compartments and I split the picks by brand or size. Have not lost one in ages.

A chain and an old car rim!

 

[soliloquy]

i usually keep 2 in my wallet at all times.
I have one pick attached to each of my guitar, usually tucked between the High E and the fretboard.
I hardly ever lose picks in the process. I bought a bag of 6 pics some year ago (i think?) and still have 3 left.

Play a Strat.

You can stick enough picks under the pickguard by the time you run out you'll have stepped on one you've dropped.
