Your Pick

These triangular pieces of plastic with rounded edges are guitar picks. It is used to make strumming the guitar a lot easier than your finger. The purpose of the pick is to be more precise on strumming the correct strings of a guitar. The guitar pick is intended for anyone who plays guitar, whether they are novice, proficient, or expert. You don't need a pick to play guitar but will allow you to play strings much faster and accurate. It can be used anywhere you have you're guitar. Whether it's at your house, at the beach, or at a bar picks are small and light which can be easily taken anywhere. Usually the materials used to make a pick are plastic. Depending on what type of picks you prefer there is more or less plastic in them. There are light, medium, and hard each designated for different purposes like faster strumming or harder strumming. It depends on the guitarist which they prefer, usually the medium are the most popular. A way that it has changed from production is that it has become a fashionable accessory. People have made them into necklaces, earrings, or with multiple picks made a bracelet. The picks are still useful in playing a guitar but what the creators would have never thought of them being made as a wearable accessory. And because of their variety of colors and small size people have used them to make mosaics. This does not change it's original purpose but gives it more of a purpose and value.

The original idea for these picks are meant to be small enough to fit in between each string and be able to play with accuracy and speed. The finger is too thick and may play the wrong string, or accidentally pluck another string. When playing with fingers the strumming sounds much more softer or muted, and with the pick it gives it a definable and loud sound. The pick is a good idea because it greatly improves overall sound of the guitar. Accuracy is key when playing guitar, if you play the wrong note it can effect the song drastically. The only problem with picks is that when you are playing the guitar it may slip out of you fingers. A way to solve this problem or to enhance it is to make the pick attach to your finger. An adhesive or a strap that may go around your finger can keep it from slipping off. Also making it a wearable device can be useful as well. The other problem that the pick has, is that it is easily lost. If there is some sort of light that can clip to the end or glow in the dark will be much easier to spot it out if you lose it at home. Also making some sort of tracking device that is installed into the pick itself can be a way of making sure you can never lose it. It would have to be registered through a "find it" app so that in any case you would be able to find it again.
