I am (trying) to learn Jethro Tull’s version of Bach’s " Bouree. I usually play finger pick, but for the middle part that has 5th’s played in quick succession, I find a pick to be much easier to use. So my plan is to start with finger style, then pick for the middle part, then back to finger style.
But with any pick of a sane thickness, the volume is much louder than with my finger picking style. I play an Ibanez SR 655E, so have switches for active/ passive and can maybe switch to a different volume with that technique. Any other ideas would be most appreciated.
Still thinking of how to dispose of the pick for the 3rd part. Using lighter fluid on the pick a la Jimi Hendrix comes to mind.
for @alexmorrison14’s suggestion to use a pedal. You can just tap it with your foot on/off to get a boost. With multi-effects pedals like my Zoom B1X, you could copy the preset and switch back and forth.
As for parking the pick, I’d stick it somewhere in the bass, maybe under the strike plate or into a little gap. If you need it again, a pick holder could be worth sticking somewhere, or some double sided tape with multiple picks.
I usually only post on two forums, this one and an engineering forum. The engineering forum gives you 10 minutes to make any changes before it’s committed to eternity. This one has no mercy!
