I bought this as a gift for my band's frontman. He sings and plays guitar, sometimes he has slide parts as well. Before he had this holder, he was using the good-old DIY solution: a piece of tape on the mic stand! :D It worked fine for holding his picks, but he had to keep the slide either in his pocket or on the corner of his pedalboard, which wasn't very convenient. This 2-in-1 solution is perfect for him, now he can change between pick and slide parts in songs without getting distracted.
