I've been playing this beauty almost every day for a few months now, probably about 30 minute sessions on average. I started to play some today but my fretting hand was giving me some not-so-good feelings when I was playing some bar chord heavy stuff so I decided to wait... This has been happening infrequently, and I had a pretty good session yesterday, so I figure I'm probably still recovering from that.

Gross. You can also learn to tuck the pick into your bent middle finger. The guitarist from The Police did this when switching between picking and finger picking, like for things like artificial harmonics, which require an available thumb and finger on your right hand. (I suppose you could do it with just two fingers on the right hand, but that would be crazy.)

    So, I'm trying to picture what you're talking about here. Typically, I've been moving the pick into the palm of my hand where I hold it with the tip of my middle finger while I adjust the tuner.

    Also, I've never heard of artificial harmonics 🤯

    When I would do it, one edge of the pick was was in the fold of the middle finger between the last segment and second segment, the other edge of the pick is in the bend where the first segment meets the palm. The tip of the finger doesn’t touch the palm. Or doesn’t have to anyway.
