you need Stick'em (as do the Argos)...either that or try the ribbed ones...we're talking about guitar picks, just to clarify
yes, i've seen lots of drunk folks at campfire sessions holding guitars over their heads (lots of cursing too, i might add) waiting for something to fall back out
pam, daniel smith has some fun stuff..i friend used it to print off some lyrics for a party way back when first online and i found it easy to remember (DanSm)

btw, i had an idle guitar that i decided to turn into a high-string for fun....it's often nice to add that shimmer sound to a track....something Bob Doidge does, that's where i first saw it anyhow...the bottom 4 strings are tuned up an octave...just pick up the thinner gauge E A D G ones from a 12 string set and you're all set...of course, leave the high B E as is...i went ontot hat tangent when you said you have an idle Ibanez
anyhow, this could be a never ending thread if all the guitar players (a wide range!) add their 2 cents worth of tips and tricks...btw, ron jones was the first one i saw who used the drone capo positioning...he actually used two...he's one of the many here who don't rely on it as a crutch
you can find great guitar discussions back at the newsgroup archives (wayne francis, derek, matt, val, ed, melissa, cathy, richard harrison, etc, etc) knock yourself out!
btw, i've seen people with small hands tackle the guitar and/or piano in masterful fashion, many of them female, it's humbling...good luck
