Tribute Guitar Picks for "The Beatles" Plus The Tribute Concert

A Tribute Concert For the Beatles

Back Beat…A Tribute is a ticket to ride back in time to when The Beatles’ rock and roll legend was born and lived on through the decade of the 1960s.

The real Beatles never performed on stage at The Murphy Theater, but this tribute band will on Saturday, April 16, at 7:30 p.m.

Critics say this band pays phenomenal homage to the quartet from Liverpool, from exact replicas of their suits made to order and authentic boots, to wigs/haircuts and exact replicas of The Beatles’ instruments. The performance recreates the aura and sound of the most famous musical group in history through three phases of the Beatles career.

The opening features all the best of The Beatles during the early years, 1964-1965. They will portray The Beatles as seen on the Ed Sullivan Show in their gray tuxedo suits, all the classic gear and equipment, with possibly a few surprises thrown in of things to come.

I'm one of the million of fans of the Beatles,  the fact is I'm not even born during the peek of their career by their fame is still unto this modern day.

Metal Guitar Picks

This popular from some guitar artists 'cause metal guitar picks had a brighter tone compared to plastic guitar picks. Though this kind of personalized guitar picks must be use with some caution 'cause metal guitar picks can damage the guitar body.

Stone Guitar Picks

More unusual guitar picks are made from semiprecious stones such as agate. These differ from their conventional counterparts in that they’re not pressed in the mould; rather, gemstone guitar picks must be hand carved individually. Guitarists who use stone picks find that different stones give different characteristic sounds, depending on the density of the stone.

This is a not familiar material, but there's plenty of personalized guitar picks that was made from semiprecious stone. This is really personalized guitar picks 'cause these kind of guitar picks was carved by human hands. What is good about personalized guitar picks made from stones is different stone density gives different sound characteristic, a really personalized distinct sound.

Do You Need a Pick For Ukulele?

Image from wikipedia

Ukulele according to wikipedia.org is

"...a subset of the guitar family of instruments, generally with four nylon or gut strings or four courses of strings."

I just think of this as funny one. I know that there were so many types of guitars, we are familiar that guitar picks especially personalized guitar picks can be used on acoustic guitars. But, some not so guitar instrument like ukulele.

Ukulele according to research on cyberspace originated from Hawaii. I had never played an ukulele, just got this funny question that came up from.

"Do you need a pick for ukulele?"

I typed that question in google search engine and here's what I found.

From answers.com:

The traditional method for playing the ukulele is to strum or pick with the fingers of the hand and not a guitar pick. That said, there are no hard and fast rules, and a pick is not "wrong".

A pick will give a louder and sharper sound, but is not as flexible as playing with fingers (because you have more fingers than picks).

The other thing to consider is a pick can easily damage the finish of a uke (as they rarely have scratch guards on them)

From Yahoo! Answers:

Hahaha, I get this question a lot. When I got a ukulele, my friends started getting ukuleles as well. I was the only one to use a pick. It got me pretty far, but then I realized my body was starting to get very, very scratched. Check out what happened to it, It's the smaller one in this picture.

So, using a plasic pick will be overall bad if you either play long enough or if you play hard. I always played really hard because I am in a band. Until I got the electric-acoustic, I had to use that pick to play loudly enough because I didn't know how to strum with my finger. Then I forced myself to learn, and I don't need a pick anymore.

However, if you really need to use a pick, invest in some felt-tipped picks. Here are the ones I use from time to time.

Below is a video of how to play an ukulele."Hey what the heck do I need to watch that video." You might ask, well you don't have to. I'm just doing this for fun...hehe... I think even not so familiar string instrument like ukulele still needed a personalized guitar picks, what you think? :)

I need more answers to this question. Can you answer the question "Do you need a pick for ukulele?"
