It's plec not pick

And another thing

The arm on a 6 string is not a Tremolo. It's a Vibrato.  Tremolo changes  volume and Vibrato changes pitch, therefore the string wobbling arm on a 6 string electric cannot be a Tremolo arm. Ever. No dispute.

Phew etc  :i-m_so_happy:

Yep. Plectrum for the 50+ years I have been playing guitar and bass. Pick is yet another Americanism being absorbed into the musicians vocabulary, like "Kick" instead of bass drum. I have never kicked a bass drum, not intentionally anyway. And why do they call a drum stool a "Throne"? Those crazy Yanks.

I call it a pick because I like to say "pick" rather than "plectrum". "Plectrum" is two syllables and therefore takes twice as long to say than "pick" does. 

I'm a busy man y'know...
