I use an Altoids mini tin for my pick holder.

[Chicken2209]

Yellow?? those are thick! I use orange

[Obcheese]

[Chicken2209]

:0 orange are .6 mm!

[foxtrot4697]

man i use orange red or pink for strumming. then jazz picks for the other stuff

[hobbles]

I've been using a Sours candy tin to hold my picks for about 3 years except its kinda bulky and i dont need to carry 30 picks with me so i keep 2 in my wallet. I use yellows primarily and orange if its mostly strumming.

[Shut Up Now]

u should call it the pickey bank! (not responsible for heart attacks caused by bad puns)

[Mr. Brownie]

Please, no puns. my friend says the worst ones like, "You need a ghoul friend*maniacle giggles* " because I like Zombies.

[Metal4God]

hey we use the same pics, the .73 tortex

[acaz93]

They are pretty _cheap Good , but honestly I prefer The fender ones they dont worn out as fast

[Metal4God]

actually the fender ones fade very fast, i took my fender medium, and did like 3 maybe 4 pick scrapes and omg it looked like a saw blade, the tortex ones, i've had the sameones since august!! of 07

[tomonto]

pick scrapes are pointless

[Metal4God]

well depends, i like the sound for the black powder metal i play

[acaz93]

i'll take your advice . i wonder if dunlop have any 0.73 picks in camo or silver colors

[Metal4God]

nah, they have a specail color for each thicknes, red is .50. orange is .60 yellow is .73 green is.88 pink is 1.00 and purpel is 1.14 unless u get nylon then it's wight , .32 light light gray is .42, light gray is .50 gray is .60 dark gray is .73 and black is 1.00 mm

[Jesusfreak101]

I had a blue one that was 1.00 mm.

[Metal4God]

[lawizeg]

I'm using an old mint box to hold my picks...but this is a whole lot cooler. I'm doing this as soon as i can get my hands on a matchbox.

Nice job, simple, but effective! u need to make a clip so u can clip it onto your axe somewhere

[acaz93]

yeah , i forgot that , i wonder what i could use?

[lawizeg]

on the guitar strap maybe you could attach it there somehow... Or maybe i can do an instructable on making a cloth holder...Hmm...

[jackfr0st]

you could double sided tape it to the back or neck, or you could stitch it onto the strap, near the part that hooks onto the actual guitar.

[acaz93]

Maybe , I think Velcro would make a neater job , or using a security pin ,

[GorillazMiko]

Awesome! I like the way you made your photos have the arrows and stuff.
And yes, you should add it to the contest.
Great job, I have some of those same yellow Dunlop picks lying around here...

[Metal4God]
