Old Crow Medicine Show
Products used: Clayton Custom Rounded Triangle 0.80mm picks.
“I love Clayton picks, the tone I get is superb and the shape and feel makes them so easy to hold, freeing up my hand to be completely expressive in my playing. I’ve tried a lot of different picks over the years and these are definitely the best.

Which White?

Robots playing with Clayton Picks?!
Yes, you did read that right! However, it’s actually called a humanoid and has 78 fingers! The band is made up of three which are named March (guitarist with 78 fingers), Ashura (drummer with 22 arms) and Cosmo (keyboardist). We always love to come across crazy ways that our picks are used but seeing robots play with them is pretty amazing we have to say! Also, some good news is that these robots still require a humans help so no worries about robots trying to replace live guitarists in bands (as if they could) :-)! Check the video out for [...]
