Pick

Picks are used to pluck the strings on the guitar. Picks are generally made out of plastic, wood, nylon, felt, tortoiseshell, metal, and acetal.

Picks also come in many sizes. Ranging from .30-2.00 mm thick. Size can differ the tone coming from the strings. Also the pick's material can dictate some of the tone coming from the strings. Typically, thicker picks make a less-warm sound, but create a very clean tone. While thinner picks create a more warm tone.
