Mike, any suggestions on how not to lose picks?

That 'on the couch' riff sounded pretty good, actually.

Thank you

can't argue with the master

Guy needs to remember there are different ways to hold mandolins for different types haha
-
This is a nice video with some helpful tips, but as musician who has played for many years, not everything is etched in stone.

So coming from violin, it should be very similar? Not as significant of a change as from violin to guitar?

@KlephRenagade The placement involving the points that are uniquie to the F-style won't work for the A-style. Besides that, eveyrhing else should remain the same, I think. Good luck!

@omoshiroidayo if you don't pay attention to this fie points of technique you might waste a lot time ...or all of it

superfluous
So true about holding the pick: I played guitar for 12 years, DYING to be a flatpicker, but relegated to playing fingerstyle, because I couldn't develop any speed or power with a pick. I quit playing for a long time and then came back to it, and through mostly coincidence, I started holding the pick differently -- the way Mike shows here -- and VOILA! I can pick now! So everybody LISTEN to what Mike says about holding the pick: it's a magic key. Really.
