Ultem Picks
- Picks for playing fast
- Synthetic tortoise shell
- 100% animal friendly
The old geezers can remember being able to play a lot faster with a tortoise shell pick than with plastic picks. Fortuanately, tortoise shell is a thing of the past ? we have to conserve nature, and it'd be rather mad to slaughter the last few tortoises just to make picks and other things out of their shells. Clayton Ultems fill the gap, so there's no need for the originals anyway.
The Ultems allow for very fast and succinct playing. Country players used these picks first, then the Blue Grass folk. They were found to come in especially handy for cross picking and other Nashville tricks. Later on, New Yorks jazz guitarists discovered the Ultems.
