  • Guitar pick
    Patent number: 4497237
    Abstract: A guitar pick includes a pick element having a top edge thereon, and a band attached to the pick element adjacent its top edge. The band is relatively stiff but deformable and comprises two angularly disposed band portions meeting at a juncture 50. The thumb-adjacent portion subtends a 90.degree. circular arc and is disposed in a plane perpendicular to the plane of the pick element, and 45.degree. relative to the axis of the pick element. The other band portion subtends a 225.degree. circular arc and is disposed in a plane 135.degree. relative to the pick element. The pick element is thereby movable from a playing position to a position where it does not interfere with the player's hand.
