Shell picks

[Bocc69]

Walking the beach today. Saw a shell that looked like a guitar pick. So, I looked for others.

Found some cool ones...very thin, very smooth, very beautiful.
I tried one on the acoustic and It worked good. I'm away from home, but I'm looking forward to trying it out on electric, and seeing what tones I get.

Obviously it's not replacing my pick. Just something to do!!!

I saw a cloud that looked like two dogs just about to, then the wind kicked up. That wind was like a bucket of cold water.

Those look really cool and a few look like they would make great picks! Let us know...I might have to send postage...

Shells? Those look like water polished stones.

It's a strange thing actually. Miles of beach, all shell, no stones. Polished they are!!

Yes, shell picks resonate really well in the key of "Sea"...

Well crafted

They are probably very good if you play a guitar with a scalloped fretboard...

Nasty weather today. Going back tomorrow to collect more. I'm willing to share if anyone wants some, 'cause I'm not shellfish.

You may have discovered an entirely new genre of esoteric guitar accessories! Patent the idea tout de suite!

Or a bass.

Maybe look for a dried up eel and think over priced strap or electric eel for a power strip.
