What do you do with your pick when you tap?

[Don Corleone]

I usually just palm it. If I'm doing something like the Mean Streets intro, then I put it in my mouth.

So some people really do that, then..

AND I think the first time I saw someone stick a pick in his mouth like that was the videoclip of Bart Walsh, Dallas '99 doing "Mean Street" intro.

I felt like, waaat?

Did EVH do it like that? Putting it into his mouth..

I mean the pick.

THE pick of course!

EVH puts alot of things into his mouth from what I understand, lets not rule out a guitar pick.

In the US Festival video, he's got the pick in his mouth when he does Mean Street during one of his solo spots. In general from what I've seen, he either mouths the pick, or tosses it and grabs another off the tape on the guitar.

I stick it up my arse .

Thanks for weighing in on the subject REV.

[Nitro Express]

I quickly lick the pick and stick it up on my forehead like Michael Anthony does and when I'm done tapping, I quickly grab it again.

I use the Matt White Technique to tap also, lol.

But if i'm playing live i zing the pick into the crowd like a Rock Star before finger picking, then grab a fresh pick to resume standard playing.
I used to order my picks with my name on them cause i though that maybe, just maybe i'd get somewhere.....didn't happen, all i got was a T-shirt and a wife.

[Mr Grimsdale]

cat has the right attitude there

playing live you HAVE to throw the pick into the adoring masses... in my case i make sure they're inflated first

[GAR]

Inflated as opposed to sucked dry at $40 USD per teeshirt.

- youre a generous lot you are!

Leave a Grimsdale show and have a fatter wallet than whatcha come in with. I kinda like that. That way I wouldn't have to get outta bed to sign my welfare check.

RIGHT

TOTAL~!!

Man, I hope you are joking about the STD.

We had a singer way back when who had Herpes and he was the lowest form of scum on earth.
He would bang anything and never mention his 'problem' to the ladies.

He was the reason i never did one night stands with drunken chicks after gigs. Having to load out the equipment made it easier because by 5am the drunken ho's were passed out.

I collected numbers and watched the interesting one's to see that they at least had some self respect for a few weeks before calling them.

I found one who was considered a tease. she just liked to get high for free and never put out, pissed off a lot of guys....I married her.

Cat ain't no damn fool and i know my cock is brainless.
Pussy feels great for a few hours, but disease is forever and in some cases, deadly.

[Matt White]

I KEED! I KEED!

I'm no fool, I vulcanized my tool!

[nosuchluck]

i usually tap with my middle finger or sometimes hold the pick with my thumb and middle finger and tap with the index.

i usually play bass anyway for which i don't use a pick.
