The power of the PA system behind me made the stage quiver. Never before had a pick made me feel so alive. The crowd stared on as I moved to the second chord. Yet as soon as it became apparent that I was playing a jazz-fusion inspired remix of freebird at the gun show, I knew I had made a mistake.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'What I liked was I ordered a ten pack of guitar picks, and then you can\'t imagine how happy I was when they arrived, I tore open the easy-to-tear plastic package, 1,2, 3, 4, etc YES! 10 picks exactly, just what I ordered!\n\nI raced to the "studio", aka the spare bedroom, plugged my amp into the outlet on the wall, plugged my acoustic-electric guitar into the amp, turned every knob I could see up to ten, ripped off a wicked solo, and just felt crushed when I played it back and it sounded like some guy who didn\'t know anything about playing a guitar who accepted a guitar on a trade for an old truck because, what the heck, why not, am I right?\n\nAnyways, they don\'t improve the sound that I could tell. I\'m going to try new strings, and if that doesn\'t work, I will either sell the guitar or maybe see if anyone offers lessons on how to play one of these things.\n\nMaybe I need a bigger amp, idk.\nBut yeah, ordered ten, got ten, they seem a\'ight.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I love these guitar picks. They feel very comfortable in my hand. And that is all I ask for when playing my guitar. According to Planet Waves the picks are one of the first polymers ever created. I guess they use cellulose. The cellulose nitrate is made by cotton fibers reacting with nitric acid. Celluloid was substituted for natural tortoise shell picks in the early 1900s and is still one of the most popular pick materials available today. So not only are we getting a great guitar pick but it sounds like we are protecting turtles from extinction!! Great job Planet Waves!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I am a beginner with the guitar, and purchased these D\'Addario Assorted Pearl Celluloid Guitar Picks along with D\'Addario nylon replacement guitar strings for an old guitar that has been in the family for many years. The picks seem to work just fine and the price was excellent. I\'m happy. Now I just hope I can/will learn to play the guitar at least a bit. I\'m trying to teach myself as an activity during the COVID-19 "stay at home" days. So far so good!! I recommend the picks.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I am always looking for a guitar pic that is just the right thickness. I have about 50-75 pics and have sorted them by thickness using a digital caliper. These pics are 0.5 mm (the product page says 50 mm - they forgot the decimal point). 0.5 mm is thin enough to allow strumming without the pic flying out of my hand but thick enough to pic single notes and arpeggios accurately. I would recommend these pics to all levels of players.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'For years I used to avoid these types of picks and on a recommendation I tried these. I realized you should find the right pick for the right occasion in the right tone. These are not my go to for any situation where a cellulose required pick makes sense. They’re not a slippery they sound great on acoustic guitar and don’t wear as bad it seems.\n\nIf you are a shred player, Jazz III Flow, but acoustic, strumming, blues these are great.\n\nThis pack is a sample pack, so you also get different sizes, which was a bonus for me. .66 nice and airy strum, heavier great for Texas Blues.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2014', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Okay, I just ordered a new guitar (Fender FA-100 Dreadnought Acoustic Sunburst) and the guitar package only came with a gig bag, and I need picks. Now while it is true that you don't need a pick to play guitar and in fact, finger picking actually can give you some better sounds, but, I knew I still wanted some picks because I am not a finger picker. So when I bought this cheap brand made picks, I was really amazed!\n\nFirst off, really fast shipping. It claimed to be delivered by Tuesday, Feb 25 to Friday, Feb 28. While it came in today on 2/22/14! That was really fast. Another thing I liked were how the picks looked and feel. These picks may be at a cheap price, but they are really made with quality. It has a plasticy, but NICE feel to them and the different colors in the Pearl texture look great! What more can I say? They're picks, they're cheap, and once my guitar gets on (Monday, Feb 24), I'm sure it will serve its purpose. Also, these things are not easy to lose either since they stick out a lot if you drop one on the ground in your house, street, ETC. and the colors are really a great addition. And hey, if you do manage to lose one, then you still have 9 more to use!\n\nSo get these picks today, they are awesome and they are the cheapest you can find!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Great set for beginners trying to figure out what size they like using best wile still giving you options for when you change guitar setups or just get better at playing guitars. Definitely does come with more then enough of them to last a wile.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'These picks (plectrums as they are called "over there") come in three gauges that are slightly thinner (1mm) than their Fender counterparts from what I see. That little difference in thickness made a big difference in the way that they feel plucking the strings. I have been a Fender man my entire 50+ year guitar playing life but I am a D\'Addario convert. Great price wasn\'t bad either!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2014', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'What can I say? There are guitar picks, and then there are Planet Waves Assorted Pearl Celluloid Guitar Picks. I purchased the 25 pack since I find that my friends steal my Planet Waves Assorted Pearl Celluloid Guitar Picks on a regular basis due to the product\'s high quality (pearl celluloid) and functionality (they pick). The assorted colors allow me to also easily color-coordinate my outfits with my pick, an absolutely essential feature in today\'s culture where individuals are regularly critiqued for their clothing and style (i.e., TLC\'s "What Not to Wear" and E!\'s "Fashion Police"). I believe that my guitar\'s strings have formed a long-term relationship with the Planet Waves Assorted Pearl Celluloid Guitar Picks as well. I have found that other brands of picks seem to slip and slide awkwardly across the guitar strings, while my Planet Waves Assorted Pearl Celluloid Guitar Picks effortlessly strum the strings, almost as if God himself (or one of his angel minions) was strumming my guitar. The workmanship of the Planet Waves Assorted Pearl Celluloid Guitar Picks is second to none.'}]
