(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, October 19, 2014 ) Robbinsville, New Jersey -- Many guitar and bass players find themselves forking out a small fortune on the acquisition of that long, dreamed-for guitar; and so one could be forgiven for assuming that purchasing a pick was of very little consequence. After all, apart from a few differences in shape, color, and thickness, aren't all picks pretty much the same? Well, it seems not.
Guitar and bass players alike are just as picky about their picks as they are about their instrument, some even claiming that the uniqueness of the sound produced, as well as a specific playing technique, are direct bi-products of the actual pick used. For example, renowned jazz guitarist, Barney Kessel, writes in his book The Guitar, "When we consider that each pick results in a different response from the player and a different sound to the listener, we can see how important pick selection is."
Sound far-fetched? The only way to really test this out is by trying out different picks, and why wouldn't one do that, given the relatively small cost of picks compared to the amount invested in selecting and purchasing the right instrument.
Pick Geek, with its recent launch of a new guitar pick box set on world-leading marketplace Amazon.com, has seemingly upped the ante on pickiness, providing the opportunity to try out four different thicknesses from extra heavy to light, at a relatively low cost. The pick set consists of sixteen celluloid guitar picks, in eight trendy full-color designs, and comes packaged in a pocket-sized attractive metal "click-clack" box, which seems just perfect for keeping these little absconders locked up safely. Celebrating both geekdom and pickiness, Pick Geek asks, "what more could a picker ask for?"
Customers of Pick Geek have greeted the picks and box with resoundingly positive reviews. In a recent five-star Amazon review, one customer said, "These are great picks and make an awesome gift for your guitar playing friends. The picks are durable and attractive. The box is small, sturdy and easy to mail or store (or hand off in a surprise). An outstanding buy! Wholeheartedly recommend this. Jerry"
