: Pick Makes Clicking Sound When I play my guitar, my pick makes a clicking sound every time it hits the pickguard. I was trying to record a song the other day and the clicking sound is annoying. Am I holding my pick wrong?

Not a clue what guitar you use, but pickguards are at least 1/4" lower than the strings, so you shouldn't be anywhere near with your pick, strumming.
Also, once the strings have been strummed, there's no point in continuing the downstroke - there's nothing else to do except change direction of your hand/arm.
It could be that you have too much pick protruding so it catches on the guard. Or you dig in after strumming the strings. A picture or soundbite might help. A teacher would help even more!
