Guitar Picks

Do you know what it is?  Well, obviously, this is guitar picks.

Playing the guitar is my hobby and I’ve collected a lot of picks.（This is just some of them）

Picks usually costs around 100yen, they usually made from celluloid（plastic）, and the sounds of guitar varies greatly depending on the pick that you’re using.

As you can see in the picture, there’re a lot of shapes in picks. The picks on the top is called “Thumb Pick” and this pick is supposed to put on thumb. 

So, I think you understand picks are very important when you play the guitar, but what about when you’re in the situation like this,

“Hey, I heard you play the guitar, right?. Show me your playing, here’s the guitar.”

I actually had this kind of situation before, and there were no picks, of course. 

So instead I played with my fingers but eventually I wanted a pick. Then I thought about things in my wallet…, coins!

As I tried different coins, I found that 1yen is the most suitable thing for pick substitute. 500yen and 100yen are too big and hard to play.

Next time, I’ll try a stone as a pick substitute… No, just joking, haha.

To Takumi.O and Shujie.F, Have a nice golden week!
