[edit] Plectrum
Why not just have the redirection to plectrum? That article makes clear that 'pick' is a synonym. I don't see the value in having two seperate articles - the information will either diverge (causing confusion) or require extra work to keep in sync. I'd suggest closing this page and keeping 'Plectrum' up to date. Basswulf 09:08, 1 Sep 2003 (UTC)
- I came to this page to voice the sentiment that this is a redundant sub but quickly found that my complaint was redundant. I propose to junk the link and enhance the plectrum link. There's some (semi)interesting discussion about the historical use of actual tortoise shell formerly used for guitar picks and some uver stuf of interest. - Sccook [signed by Hyacinth]
[edit] Improvement
Hopefully I've started to improve this a bit. I have changed the general plectrum page to link here using the Main article: Guitar Pick style. There's still a lot that can go in here - pictures of more types of pick, some notes on how they are held and used. History would be great, but I don't know anything about that. There are also some electronic toys that are used too (I can't remember what they're called now). --KayEss 09:27, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Plectrum and rules
I'm also confused about why this page is not just a section in plectrum. I also feel that rules are not really rules if there are so many variations due to personal preferences. Ophir 19:34, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
