If I find myself without a pick I'm basically useless.
Like Iron Man without his suit.

I forgot a pick once and the drummer said use your fingers we were doing holy wars

Am I the only one who loves the fact that he plays parts of Crazy Little Thing Called Love throughout the video

[TheCzlowiekZagadka]

I would honestly try an SD card as a pick. Not a micro, a full size SD card.

[christianalexander]

Man I dont know why, but if you tell me youre over 25 i wont believe you😪

[archtopp]

I keep a lot of picks in my guitar cases. I'm never without a pick and i always have a pick for friends in need.

The sixpence is the coin Brian May uses. I like the sound and feel of it

[johnwallace]

Ask the audience, because ppl who go to live shows tend to also play

[Bradywhite]

Is a crazy little thing called love in the beginning

[rveader]

Soda and beer can tabs work so much better than coins, plus they're ubiquitous and, basically, free.

[rishinelli]

“Maybe good for pick scrapes.”
Goes for it
“AGHHHH!”

[poggersfish.]

I use a loaf of bread as an emergency pick

[johnwallace]

Flashlight, check under the amps, check in the corner of the stage, there will be plenty of picks on the ground

[PintsofGuinness]

dude you should do a video showing your guitar collection

[biromancer]

that gibson in the back is beautiful! ^_^

[PennyDvis]

What amp was used in this video? Really like the tone :)

[aryankhatiwada]

WOAH! The Crazy Little thing called love solo was insane! Anyway, I cut out my old ID cards in random shapes and use it as a pick...LOL

for my birthday a couple of years ago, I was given something called a "pick punch" which looks like a hole punch that you use on paper, but it makes picks out of plastic cards up to 1mm in thickness
