MIT Physicist Almost Gets Pick Out of Acoustic Guitar

[DonaldM]

A major breakthrough from the world of science that will benefit acoustic guitar players the world over. “This is a breakthrough for the ages,” said fellow physicist Tom Tyler. “Ever since the guitar was invented sometime in the 15th century, this problem has plagued countless musicians. By slightly tilting the guitar topwise at a 45-degree angle, Larry has brought us closer to a solution than ever before. Each time, we could see the pick, but nobody had fingers skinny enough to grab it.”

He later added, “I hope they call my technique the ‘Large-Hard-on-Collider.’”
