FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Anaheim, CA – The Guitar Flipick™ Company is excited to unveil the flipick during this week’s NAMM Show in Anaheim, California. This innovative guitar pick redefines versatility, offering a unique solution for guitarists seeking to instantly switch between flatpicking, fingerstyle, and other techniques.
“The flipick isn’t just another guitar pick—it’s a game-changer for guitarists,” the family-owned start-up expressed in a statement. “It allows players to effortlessly switch between techniques such as flatpicking, fingerstyle, multi-finger tapping, cascade harmonics, slap, and thumb playing—all while promoting a relaxed grip. Guitarists can now easily blend their complete skills into every performance.”
The flipick secures comfortably on the upper edge of the thumb with a soft, flexible elastic band, allowing it to pivot—down for flatpicking and up for fingerstyle. In the up position, players can freely use their thumb and all fingers while the pick is instantly accessible. The flipick’s patent-pending design offers a refined and novel solution that maximizes the possibilities for guitarists.
With conventional picks, the thumb and index finger are usually constrained to holding the pick, which limits their use. Since these are typically the strongest parts of the hand, this can be a significant drawback for guitarists looking to deploy a wider range of techniques.
As an added benefit for flatpicking, there is no need to grip the pick firmly since it is held securely with the soft elastic. This promotes a more relaxed grip for reduced fatigue, faster lines, and enhanced dynamics. The elastic band provides stability without restricting responsiveness or pick position, and there is no risk of dropping the pick.
For many players, the flipick also offers advantages over thumb picks, as it allows the use of the flesh of the thumb, thereby improving dynamic control. Additionally, thumb picks can feel stiff and restrictive during picked lines due to their hard plastic attachment. In contrast, the flipick’s soft elastic provides a seamless, natural feel, similar to the experience of a traditional pick. This allows for greater nuance, fluidity, and speed as compared to thumb picks.
Separate from the flip feature, the flipick provides sought after specs including beveled edge, durable Ultem material in faded blue, and a punchy, articulate tone that complements the natural finger tone—ideal for seamlessly blending pick and finger lines.
While the flipick was designed for pro guitarists, it’s an ideal tool for players at all levels, since it encourages mixing of various techniques.The consistent use of multiple techniques helps develop total proficiency and versatility over time.
The Guitar Flipick Company was launched in Q4 of 2024 with its base flipick model, and is already developing more options for its fast-growing customer base.
The company commented, “While we will always salute the classic guitar gear used to create our favorite music, today’s guitarists can benefit from new tools to help them execute the wide array of techniques that have become prominent in recent years. We are happy help support this evolution within the guitar player community.”
