An apparatus (5) for holding a plectrum (30) in graspable relation to a hand is taught which comprises a hand engaging portion (10), a resilient member (20), fastening elements (92 and 80) and a plectrum (30). The hand engaging portion (10) is adapted to engage a portion of the musician's hand, and to be fastened to a proximal end of the resilient member (20). A distal end of the resilient member is fastened to the plectrum. Preferably, the proximal end of the resilient member (20) is fastened to the hand engaging portion (10) so that the resilient member projects outwardly from the hand, with the distal end of the resilient member (20) positioned in spaced-relation to the hand. The distal end of the resilient member (20) is fastened to the plectrum so that the plectrum (30) is held in graspable relation to the musician's hand and in a preferred orientation relative to the musician's fingers. A method of playing a stringed instrument is also taught.
