Re: slipping plectrum
The surface of Blue Chip picks is some material that makes it less slick than others, at least for me. I use a relatively small jazz pick with a point, but that's because of the kind of music i play. I use a smooth pick for the snake and I use a BC for my Eastman which has a bridge mike and I'm more apt to play it at a gig where my hands will suddenly be sweaty. It's managed to stay where it is in my fingers regardless of sweat, heat, fear or solo. My smooth pick will move around under those conditions and occasionally disappear into my fist!
