The Jim Dunlop 'Big Stubby' has that small indent which helps to keep hold of the pick, maybe you should try those...
What are you learning?

I use dunlop tortex picks. They have really good grip, and won't slip no matter how much u sweat on them. The downside is that after a while they wear down....... but i'm not cheap.... I just buy more. The hard plastic seethru ones slip hardcore, especially when u live in a hot sweaty country.

Try a different material, the stubbies and jazz picks I used kept slipping all the damn time so I tried the tortex jazz picks.. They play super awesomely.

Like I said, get some Gorilla Snot. Or some other pine tar.
I have the same problem though. When I don't want my fingers to smell like a pine tree, I'll just like my finger and thumb to improve my grip on the pick.

At first I was like Gorilla Snot!?? But then I googled it 
I'll have to get myself some of that.

It works pretty well. Just don't get too much on your fingers or you'll have pine sap all over your clothes.
Still practising Accolade II solo section. And also the beautiful strange solo from 2084 by Ayreon.

At least once in my life, I wanna do a cover of that song and reenact the music video. It is a goal of mine. No joke. If I do that, I would die happy even if I die a virgin.

hahaha that's awesome. and seriously, who cares about sex as long as you can play like yngwie
Villa Lobos etude no. 1. It's pretty easy until you try to play it up to speed. It'll be a good while before i can play all 12 at concert, but they're so badass I really don't want to put them off. I'm going to go ahead and learn them all at reasonable tempos and work them up over time.
