Yikes, where did my guitar pick go? Sometimes while playing guitar your pick can come loose and go right into the sound hole ~ ugh. No need to shake the guitar around to get it, just try this REALLY easy method to remove the pick https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GtomHkRhmo. Then you can pick up and play, right away!

Soon the ‘F’ will stand for fantastically fun chord!
