There are lots of different kinds of picks. Finding the right pick for you can make playing much easier!
Thin picks are great for strumming chords. They bend against the strings while you strum and have very little resistance. The downside to thin picks is that they bend and have very little resistance! This means they aren't very good for doing fast single note runs. If your ...

Guitar players and other soloists will love this app! It lets you slow down the speed of a song or solo on your iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch without changing the pitch.
