One of the most annoying things for any guitarist is when your pick falls down into your guitar. Then it's a real pain to try and shake it out and retrieve it, even more so if your sat in front of a crowd of people waiting for you to play something. This problem occurs because of where people, including myself, often leave their pick. I always used to simply wedge it between the strings at the top of the guitar. I have been told that this does not do the strings any good but I've never seen any adverse effects so I just do it anyway. The problem comes though when it slips out of the strings, down the neck and into the guitar itself. So what to do about this ...  Read the complete review

When it comes to being tidy, and having everything on order I am obsessive over ensuring this is the case. Some may call me mad but everything is my room and flat is ordered to the precise tee and one thing I noticed when I started playing guitar is that is a messy hobby. By the time you gather all the equipment its hard to store it all neatly and I had a guitar bag which pretty much had everything in. This meant that I would have to rummage around in one of the two large pockets on this bag for sometime before finding the pick I wanted. Those days are gone since I bought the Jim Dunlop Pick Holder on ebay for just 99p. I had never seen such a device before ...  Read the complete review

As I have mentioned throughout a range of reviews on plectrums and plectrum holders, losing the little bits of plastic is an irritating and all too common occurrence. Dunlop's 'Pick Holder' is a unique idea, a way of storing multiple picks in a small, compact and ingenious way. Instead of producing a book shaped container, or a box shaped one, Dunlop have come up with a plectrum shaped plectrum holder - fantastic. The little holder is coloured black, and fits all types and sizes of plectrum I own (a healthy range), from small nylon entries to larger tear-drop shaped ones. The exterior centre of the holder is cut open to reveal the top plectrums appearance to ...  Read the complete review

I'm someone who can never find my plectrums when I need them. Even if i've gone out of my way to stuff sixteen of the damn things into my pocket, when the need arises (usually during a gig) - I frequently end up plectrum-less. My solution to this 'SRP' (strumming-related problem) was to get myself a plectrum carrier and stick it to the back of my guitar. Today i'm taking a look at the Dunlop Guitar Pick Holder which can be purchased from amazon.co.uk for the measly sum of £2.99 - a definite bargain! This great little carrier is made from a sturdy plastic and comes with a pre-prepared adhesive strip on the back. The adhesive used is carefully prepared so that it won't ...  Read the complete review

Firstly I must thank fellow Dooyoo reviewer JJJJ for bringing the existence of this marvellous little gadget to my attention with his original review. I immediately saw how useful one of these would be and ordered two from Amazon for the princely sum of £2.99 each. One is for me and one was for a guitar playing friend of mine who I knew would be equally impressed. Such a simple idea this is that I am amazed nobody has come up with it any quicker, it just seems so obvious. I find plectrums frequently stuck in the drum lining of my washing machine and lose more than I care to mention due to their fiddly size and shape. I hate sticking them through the strings of ...  Read the complete review
