Pick Geek Guitar & Bass Pick Set Review

The boys got ukuleles for Easter a few years ago. Are they masters at playing them? Not yet. They are practicing. 

Dad is holding Isaak's ukulele here.
 

I just got Pick Geek Guitar and Bass Pick Set to review. They can work on Ukuleles as well.

First of all they have such great branding. The box, canisters, and picks are so fun!



I like that each pick has a different weight. The boys will use the ones with less weight for now. There is: Thin, Medium, Heavy, & Xtra Heavy. The heavy and xtra heavy are used more for a bass, or an acoustic guitar because they have thicker strings. The thin and medium are more for when you want to play a guitar quietly, and I'm sure the boys will use these kind for their ukuleles because the strings are thinner.



The different colors make playing a string instrument fun to!


Pick Geek Cube - 32 Assorted Cool Custom Guitar Picks for your Electric, Acoustic or Bass Guitar - Celluloid & Delrin (Tortex) - Light, Medium, Heavy - Presented In Two Uniquely Designed Metal Pocket Boxes - for Girls & Guys - A Perfect Gift - Guaranteed.
 
Our boys are getting them for Easter this year. The Easter Bunny is stealing these from me to put in plastic eggs. The picks will be part of our scavenger hunt.

The unique circular 'click-clack' boxes fit easily into any pocket or guitar case, and are opened by pressing on the center of the lid (click!), and then closed by squeezing gently on the sides (clack!).


Quality is assured by hand packing each container, and then adding a five year, no hassles replacement guarantee. And as if that wasn't enough, the pick boxes are being shipped in a FREE Kraft cube gift box, offering a bit of flare and making it an easy purchase for gifting.


A practical gift for any guitar, bass, or in my boy's case ukulele players.


Cost: $29.99, but they are on sale for $15.99!


Have you ever played an instrument?

Sing, Sing a Song Saturday

Sing, Sing a Song Saturday is all about me discovering something that is different. I don't want to post things that you and I have more than likely heard before. I want to find something different. It could be from another country, someone singing from the streets of NY, and more.

A few years ago we bought the boys ukuleles for Easter. 



They played them a little, but mostly they were one of those things that got set in their closets. Recently Mica's taken an interest in getting it out, and playing it. He watches YouTube tutorials on playing the ukulele. You've got to start somewhere right? 

I looked up bands, singers that play ukuleles. Lisa Hannigan came up. I really love her music. It's calming.

Between writing her first album - 2008's Sea Sew - and its eagerly awaited successor, Lisa Hannigan's life has changed in many ways. 

She was nominated for the Choice Music Prize in her native Ireland. Hannigan has conducted her life as a solo artist up until this point.
