Pick of the Week — Video Games Live

September 29th, 2011 in Custom Guitar Picks, Pick of the Week

We are proud to feature an amazing pick design for this week’s Pick of the Week! They were designed by Clayton customer Tommy Tallarico. “Tommy is a veritable video game industry icon. As one of the most successful video game composers in history, he has helped revolutionize the gaming world, creating unique audio landscapes that enhance the video gaming experience. Tallarico has been writing music for video games for more than 21 years. He has won over 45 industry awards and has worked on more than 275 game titles; to date. No one in the history of the video game industry has ever worked on more titles and projects. In 2008, he was enshrined in the Guinness Book of World Records and currently holds 3 Guinness World Records including the person who has worked on the most commercially released video games. In 2005 he launched his highly successful worldwide Video Games Live concert series which opened at the Hollywood Bowl with the LA Philharmonic.” The team here at Clayton was really exited about Tommy’s picks, because the design is intricate with a variety of shading, but came out beautifully on our white pearl pick material. They were created for a special event called Video Games Live. “Video Games Live is an immersive concert event featuring music from the greatest video games of all time. Top orchestras and choirs around the world perform along with exclusive video footage and music arrangements, synchronized lighting, special fx, solo performers, electronic percussion, live action and unique interactive segments to create an explosive one-of-a-kind entertainment experience. VGL has been featured as a PBS Special (2010) and their album debuted at #8 on the Billboard charts.
