Check out some cool picks...

Because guitar picks are such a low-priced but important item to most guitar players, there are many ways to get free picks. You can get picks from:

• Guitar shops
• Guitar websites and forums
• Record labels
• Friends and other enthusiasts

Many independent guitar and instrument shops will allow customers (or potential costumers) to 'test drive' a guitar pick in the hopes that they will come back and purchase products someday. Be forewarned: larger chain retailers such as Guitar Center or Sam Ash are not as willing to give their costumers free products. Trying to get free guitar picks from a guitar shop will only work with smaller, independent retailers.

The best way to go about trying to get free picks from a retailer is as follows:

1. Be honest. Tell them that you're looking to try out some new guitar picks.
2. Ask if they have any samples that you could try or if they have any suggestions.
3. If they don't offer you any free picks, don't be too upset! Ideally, you still got a quality consumer experience that directed you towards some new picks to try out.

Guitar players are quick to help one another. When one finds a good deal, he or she is often eager to share it with other folks. Guitar websites and forums are often a good place to find guitar picks free for two reasons:

1. Online forums are the most frequently updated sources of information. If there's a quick deal to be had or a free offer out there, the forum world will keep up to date with it. Nevertheless, be careful: anyone can post on a forum, so be sure to use good sense when giving away personal information on the Internet.
2. Guitar websites are updated by a mix of guitar enthusiast and music professionals. These types tend to be the ones giving away free guitar picks and often promote offers on their own sites or on affiliate websites.

Some great guitar forums and websites to check out (both to try to find some free guitar picks and for other great guitar tips) are:

• http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/forum/ Ultimate Guitar forums]: With over a million members worldwide, there's always something happening.
• Guitarists.net is another great forum to help you keep up on all the guitar deals.
• GuitarTrade.org is one of the smaller, more personable guitar forums out there. However, that just makes it all the more easy to navigate!
• The Guitar Noise forum

Many people don't realize that record labels create guitar pics with an artists name on them as a promotional product. Labels are also looking to get these picks out there so that they can promote their artist. To the average guitarist, labels promoting with guitar picks just means free picks!

Some ways to get free picks from record labels:

• Labels will use 'street teams' to get these promotional products out to the market. 'Teamers' will leave some promotional products anywhere they think people interested in them will be looking. So look! The next time you're at your favorite music shop or retailer, be sure to look through their free sticker and flyers area--you might find your new favorite pick!
• 'Street teamers' will also give out promotional products at events around your town, so be sure to be on the look out--especially if you live in a bigger city!
• Poke around online. Often when a product is no longer promoting a current artist, labels will do anything to get rid of a product - they'll even ship hundreds of them to anyone who wants them!

In this world, it's often hard to get something for free. However, when it comes to guitar picks, it is easier than most other products. The most important thing to remember when looking for guitar picks for free it is to always be willing to ask. Then, hopefully, you'll come away with a new free guitar pick the next time you visit your favorite guitar shop!
