Holding Your Guitar & Pick

Let's practice — step by step

1. 1

   Sit up tall on a chair with no armrests. Rest the guitar's curve on your right leg.

2. 2

   Tilt the neck slightly up — like the guitar is smiling at you.

3. 3

   Hold the pick between your thumb and the side of your index finger. Just the tip should peek out.

4. 4

   Pretend-strum the air 10 times. Loose wrist, like shaking water off your hand.

5. 5

   Now strum the open strings slowly 10 times. Listen — do all 6 strings ring?

🌟 Fun fact: Most guitar heroes hold the pick with just two fingers — light grip, big sound!
