Sterling Silver Guitar Picks

If you're looking for a new sound from your guitar, consider experimenting with sterling silver guitar picks. Most guitar players use either plastic or nylon guitar picks, and this means most people's guitars produce the same sound when the pick strikes the string. What many players don't realize is that the type of material the pick is made from can have a significant impact on your guitar's sound. Besides sound, there are many other interesting reasons why you might like to try out some sterling silver guitar picks. This article will cover the basics about silver picks, and then show you some places on the Internet where you can purchase them for yourself.

There are several reasons why you might want to give a sterling guitar pick a try.

• Sound – As mentioned before, playing with a pick made from a soft metal like sterling silver creates a totally different sound than playing with a plastic or a nylon pick. Guitar strings are made of metal, so you get a lot more attack and presence when you pick a metal string with a metal pick than when you pick the same string with a non-metal pick. However, silver is a softer metal, so the sound is bright and crisp without being too brash or grating. Sterling silver also offers guitar players a nice feel that can positively influence their playing. You can even use them as a little slide!

• Durability – Everyone who plays a lot of guitar knows that plastic and nylon picks don't last too long. The tips wear down, and they become flimsy and will sometimes even break in half depending on how hard you play. And if you do a lot of pick slides, forget about it; you pick won't last more than a few days at most. A guitar pick that isn't in peak condition will negatively affect your playing, so having a pick that is always in perfect condition is actually quite important. Sterling silver guitar picks can provide a level of durability and dependability that other picks can't match. The only thing you have to worry about is making sure you don't lose your sterling pick!

• Style – Let's face it; playing guitar is often about style as much as it is about talent. Using a sterling guitar pick can give you a certain je ne se qua that other players don't have. In addition, sterling picks are great for engraving, so you can further personalize your guitar picks with your own special style.
