Guitarists - do you use a Gorilla Snot?

That's how you catch monkey pox.
Really though, I had a hard time holding on to my flat picks and started using a thumb pick and playing fingerstyle. I worked on it for years and still mostly play that way.
A few years ago, though I had to start getting treated for some issues with my legs, because I got burned kind of bad.
One of the things that helped me most, in my opinion, was taking Magnesium supplements.
I can hold flat picks much better now.

I use Herco Flex 75s because of the grip texture molded into the pick itself.





Before I used Flex 75s, I'd etch grips into my picks by cutting tic tac toe boards into them with a box cutter.

Have never used snot or any sticky, but I do have club thumbs and experienced some issues with hold before...found the thickness on these to be most comfortable, easy to grip for me, and some increased speed. I alternate between these:

FLOW 1.0

FLOW .73

Wedgies are very similar.
