Plectrums (also knows as picks)  are small tools that guitarists use to pluck the strings of a guitar. Picks are usually made of plastic or other materials and are oval in shape. They make it easier and faster to play the guitar, especially when playing fast chords or melodies.

What are guitar picks?

Plastic picks: These are the most commonly used plectrums because plastic is lightweight and durable. These plectrums come in different thicknesses, making them suitable for both beginners and experienced guitarists.

Metal : Metal plectrums are durable and suitable for playing electric guitar. They produce a bright and strong sound, so they are often used in rock and metal music styles.

Rubber plectrums: These plectrums are soft and elastic. They produce a soft and warm sound, so they are often used on acoustic guitars when playing slow and melodic pieces.

What do you need to know about guitar picks?

The choice of pick depends on the sound you want to achieve and how comfortable you feel playing with it. Every guitarist can choose the pick that suits them best, depending on their playing style and musical genre.
