Planet Waves Standard Guitar Picks–Right for Any Hand

When it comes to playing a guitar, nothing but the best will do. That’s why Planet Waves Medium Standard Guitar Picks are the right choice. They are the right tool for the job, which is producing awesome music. Stylish in pearlized colors, these medium guitar picks are the most popular picks out there today. Not too thin and not too heavy, they are just right for every guitar-playing style.

Attractive, stylish, beautiful sound.

The Right Fit No Matter the Age
It does not matter if this pick will be used by someone who is six-years old or sixty-years old, the Planet Waves Standard guitar pick will be just what the doctor ordered. The pearl finish is attractive enough for kids to want to use, thick enough not to snap when used on electric guitars, and thin enough not to muddle the sound of the strings.

Why a Medium Guitar Pick?
A medium guitar pick is 0.73–0.81 mm or 0.028–0.031 inches thick. When playing rock or heavier music, or while playing electric guitar with hi-gain amplification or distortion, thinner picks produce muddier, less precise, less controlled sound while thicker picks produce more specific, more controlled and well-shaped tone. Thinner picks also tend to rip or tear more often if used too forcefully, whereas a thicker one is less likely to wear down. Thicker picks are generally used in more discrete genres, such as heavy metal or power metal.

Comes in a 10-pack of assorted pearlized colors.

Celluloid, Historically Speaking
Invented in 1856, celluloid is considered the first invented thermoplastic. This was the first plastic ever used to produce picks, and it is still used today–especially for guitarists aiming for vintage tone. Celluloid is easily molded and shaped, and it was first widely used as an ivory replacement. Easy to manufacture, easy to produce, celluloid is the favored pick of guitarists around the world.

The self-titled debut release from The Sky will be available everywhere November 1st on Skyzilla Music. Founded in 2010 by veteran rock vocalist/songwriter Robert Fleischman (Journey/Vinnie Vincent Invasion), The Sky offers music fans a return to handmade, song-driven rock & roll at its very best.

Based in Richmond, Virginia, The Sky features Stephan LaJaunie (guitars); Robert Fleischman (vocals); Andre LaBelle (drums); Steve Barber (bass guitar) and Brady Cole (guitars). Recorded at Montrose Recordings and Sound of Music studios and mixed at The Freezer, The Sky offers up blistering rock tracks fueled by high-octane guitars and rock solid drum grooves – all fronted by Fleischmans charismatic vocals.

From the gritty opening chords of All I Want to powerful tracks like The Real Beat and Dancing In My Head, The Sky delivers authentic, guitar-driven, flesh and blood rock and roll in the spirit of Tom Petty and The Rolling Stones. While Fleischmans songwriting prowess is highlighted on intensely beautiful tracks like Sunshine and Revelation which feature artful production and orchestration reminiscent of British rock bands like Oasis and Coldplay.

The albums greatest strength beyond songwriting is found in the performances of the band that Fleischman has assembled. A perfect balance of both classic American Rock & Roll and Indie/Brit-Pop, The Skys songs are sophisticated, modern and full of life and embody the bands passion for the words and music they have created. It is refreshing to hear a band so capable translate their live sound to the studio, allowing the listener to feel as though the band was performing live right in front of them. Not relying on studio tricks to achieve their powerful sound, The Sky recorded the entire album live, in-studio to capture the organic feel and sound of the bands performance.

For this album, I wrote 20 songs and picked the ones with the most energy. Then we went into a recording studio and recorded the band live as a unit — instead of piecing it all together, says Fleischman. The record is very live sounding, which I really love. This is the first time I’ve been in a band with two guitars and it really rocks!

Probably best known as the lead singer of legendary rock band Journey between the albums Next and Infinity, Robert Fleischman also co-wrote one of the bands biggest hit songs, Wheel In the Sky (#57 on the Billboard Hot 100) as well as the tracks Anytime and Winds of March. Fleischman also appeared with the Vinnie Vincent Invasion, featuring ex-KISS guitarist Vinnie Vincent on their self-titled album and the unreleased album Guitars From Hell. Fleischman is also known for scoring soundtracks for TV and film, notably That ’70s Show and the pilot episode of SpongeBob SquarePants. Many of Fleischmans ambient scores can be found on his 2004 solo albums Kinetic Phenomena and Electric Raindrops.
