If you’ve ever wanted to know what Dan Auerbach’s guitar pick looks like, well, here it is.
There’s probably a few guitar pick spotters who will appreciate this close up.
Even though I don’t play the guitar I’m pretty chuffed to have it. I have it due to luck more than anything else.
A guy seated next to me at the recent Melbourne gig had asked a roadie for the spare Gomez guitar picks after their set. He threw one over. The guy was stoked.
After the Black Keys gig, the same guy yelled out to the Black Keys roadie (whose name I would later learn is Mattrix) for a guitar pick. The kind soul that he is threw 2 picks in our direction. I caught one and the other dropped between the front row of seats and the stage, down into what would normally be an orchestra pit, far out of reach. I was now stoked, and the other guy was unhappy.
I suppose I can never say that Dan actually played with this particular pick, but it certainly was in his available rack.
