A Kickstarter campaign is set to launch for a brand new guitar pick, which has been boldly badged by its maker as “the pick that makes guitar easier”.
PickTwist is an innovative new approach to a guitarist’s best friend. Its 3D and ergonomically focused design may look like it’s been mangled by crunching metallic jaws, but there’s method in the madness here: it might just be a left-field solution to common guitar pick pitfalls.
According to the brains behind PickTwist, pick slippages, unwanted hand tension, troubles nailing pinch harmonics, dead tone, and losing focus on your fretting hand are all the result of poor pick quality. This new “self-centering guitar pick” promises to remedy all of that.

In addition, pinch harmonics are said to become “super easy” with one of these in your grip, while the guitar tone it helps foster has been described as “modern [and] full of clarity and definition”.
