The Sik Pik came through observation. Watching how players (like George Benson, Pat Methany and Jorge Strunz) used their picks in a unique playing style to achieve incredible results. Seeing the seemingly effortless way in which these players traversed the strings. The feel, the dynamics, and the sound are the fundamentals that need to be different to create a strikingly different result. The Sik Pik is the smallest change that can be made to create a profound effect. A real change in pick shape brings about a profound change in playing. An evolutionary change is not a simple thought, but a foundational change that creates a positive difference in how the string is played. Seeing is believing, but playing is the truth. demonstration.
