When you hold a guitar pick, what do you do with the index finger?
Q. I mean, I hold the pick between the side of my index finger and the pad of my thumb. My index finger naturally wants to stretch out all the way. If I let it stretch out, then it touches the strings because the last joint of my index finger extends beyond the length of the pick. So I curl my index finger into my hand. It takes a big effort to keep the index finger curled up. It keeps coming uncurled as I play. Will it eventually just stay there if I keep trying to curl it in? Or will it always be that way?

What would be the best high index glasses for a very high prescription for farsightedness?
Q. I would like to decrease the "coke bottle" effect as much as I can. Also, how much more does high index cost? And how much of a difference does high index make cosmetically and visually?

A. If you can get high index, go for it. In my case, it reduces the thickness of the lenses in my glasses so it looks like I'm wearing regular glasses, not strong ones. I like that. They are lighter and not as prone to sliding down my nose as regular lenses would be for me.
