    Yeah. That pick is gone. Even when you see where a pick has fallen, it's gone forever. Sensei, here, didn't even see where he threw it. Good luck Sensei. Your pick has been picked up by its mothership now.

    @@gauravdas22 (Reviving an old thread here, LOL) On one occasion, while searching for a Dunlop Jazz III pick that seemingly vanished right from under my nose, I stuck my hand into the couch cushions and rooted around. Lo and behold, I could feel it! I grabbed ahold, extricated my hand and looked at it. Yep, it was a guitar pick, alright... but it wasn't my Jazz III. To my considerable confusion, I found myself staring at a promotional pick for the teenybopper clothing store "Hot Topic." I've never been inside a Hot Topic; I purchased the couch new; no one had ever played guitar on my couch. To this day, I have no... idea... how... 🎸👻

    Great advice and you're a really good teacher! I especially liked the chord substitutions idea. One thing that really helped my rhythm playing get tighter was not strumming all 6 strings all of the time (sometimes 2 or 3 strings max). I kind of learned this somewhat from learning Malcolm Young riffs. It also made the discomfort I was getting in my right elbow completely vanish. Thanks again man!
