ABSTRACT:
A musician's pick (10) having both a pick portion (26) and an upper grip portion (24). The pick portion (26) and upper grip portion (24) are angularly oriented each with respect to the other in a predetermined manner. Grip portion (24) is generally semi-circular in contour and includes a predetermined diameter adapted to interface with the thumb and forefinger of a user on opposing surfaces thereof. The pick portion (26) includes a predetermined extended length adapted to engage strings (14) of a guitar (12) at a predetermined depth when the grip portion (24) is interfaced by the thumb and forefinger of the user. The predetermined angular orientation between the pick portion (26) and the grip portion (24) of the pick (10) allows the pick portion (26) to engage the strings (14) in a generally parallel relation despite the normal, non-parallel relation between the strings (14) and the longitudinal axis (20) of a user's forearm (18).
