Brian May's Picks & Pick Holders
In a video interview by Premier Guitar titled "Why Brian May Uses a Sixpence," Brian May, the guitarist for Queen, explains his unique choice of using a Sixpence coin as a guitar pick. He details the reasons behind his preference for this unconventional pick over traditional ones.
During certain 2005 concert dates, May has been known to use custom-molded silver-nylon Herco picks, presumably using the corse grip on one of the rounder shoulders of the pick, due to his decades-old preference of the notched side of a British Sixpence coin.
