If you like the more natural air guitar playing, but you still want to actually hear real music too, the Air Pick might be just the ticket. This fat plastic guitar pick is many times thicker than a real pick, but shaped the same way. When you strum your air guitar holding the Air Pick, each stroke you make results in a note being played from a real song.

There are three different Air Picks and they have tunes from bands like the Beatles, Rolling Stones, and others. Specific songs you will be able to play are some of the most popular old-school rock tracks around like Jumping Jack Flash, Satisfaction, Born to be Wild, Smoke on the Water, and Sweet Home Alabama. They will hit stores this summer in the UK and there is no word on availability elsewhere.

This cool accessory is currently up on Kickstarter looking for funding. Inside the guitar pick is some cool motion sensing tech that allows you to interact with an app that detects the strumming motion of the pick. The hardware and app combo claims to turn your music already on your iPhone into a rhythm game with the motion sensing guitar pick as the controller.

The project is seeking $25,000 to get out of the concept stage and into a real product. So far, almost $5,000 has been pledged with more than 20 days to go. Pledge at least $49 to get your hands one one of the first Air Guitar Move controllers. If you don’t mind waiting about a month longer, a $39 pledge gets you one from the second batch. Contribute at least $249 and you’ll get a limited-edition “Iron Man Red” anodized aluminum pick.

The $24.95 Pick Punch looks like a giant single hole punch you might find in an office. Rather than punching out paper, the Pick Punch creates pics that measure 30mm H x 25.5mm wide at the top in a roughly triangular 351 pick style. You can put images between clear sheets of material and punch them into a pick if you want.

The product page doesn’t say how thick of a material you can punch with the thing. I would go around making picks out of anything the Pick Punch could cut through. The company offers a bunch of different color sheets of material you can punch out and most of them are 0.8mm thick. The sheets are $3.00 each.

I would love to make a few picks out of my wife’s credit card, which would be $25 bucks well spent.

Circuit boards! Or rather the cut and shaped remainders of old circuit boards. Could there be a better fate for the innards of computers past? For most things, being “put out to pasture” means a life of boredom, but these circuit boards get to embark on the rock star life in their twilight years. If only we could all be so lucky.

TheBlueKraken’s Etsy store has a wide variety of recycled circuit board goods, such as jewelry, but the picks are what drew my eye. The price tag doesn’t hurt, either: at $7 or $8 bucks a pop, I dunno that you’ll be tossing them to your adoring fans, but you might certainly show ‘em off to a friend or two.

The Rock Tamashii is a rather cumbersome looking, oversize guitar pick with a built in speaker. As you “strum” the pick rhythmically, the music plays.

Each one comes pre-loaded with a couple of rock numbers that you can jam out to. There are currently four versions of the pick, including such tunes as Aerosmith’s Walk This Way, The Rolling Stones’ Satisfaction, and Green Day’s American Idiot among others.

Rock Tamashii guitar picks are available for pre-order for $15 each from HimeyaShop.
