The Legend of The Golden Picks…
The Legend of The Golden Picks
A long long time ago, in a music store far far away……
There was a young clean shaven guitar geek named Tony, who posted awesome video guitar reviews on line for the music villa where he worked. One day he came across an ancient bedazzled guitar with a treasure map hidden inside. At the end of the map he found the buried treasure which was called TAC. Now, surrounded with fellow guitar geek Jedi’s, Tony distributed the treasured “Golden Pick Awards” to all who gathered at the Big Sky Jamboree those first 2 years. He always found something good and sweet to say to each person as they received their award- a genuine Golden Ultex Dunlop Pick. This is all ancient lore, but word has it that the original Bedazzled Esteban Guitar is displayed proudly at the current TAC HQ in Bozeman.
There hasn’t been a Golden Pick sighting since that 2nd year in Big Sky, but I have noticed that when I complete a daily challenge or a TAC lesson set, there is a pop up window that states how many golden picks you have, and there is a secret link that leads to some kind of geek trading post where you might be able to trade your golden picks for maybe some secret music theory nuggets or other rare valuables?
Best wishes to all TAC Geek Jedi’s. Enjoy your guitar journey and I wish you many many Golden Pick moments along the way!!!

@jumpinjeff , do those things have time travel capabilities? I have heard they are what is actually in the leprechaun’s pot over by that rainbow over there.

I can neither confirm nor deny…..cheeky folks those wee people.

Hahahaha @JumpinJeff, so that is where all the golden picks are!!! You are truly extra good and sweet, so you surely deserve every one of them.
-
Is a golden pick more or less than The Pick of Destiny?
-
Not more or less… Just opposite! Made from the quill of the angel on the Zeplin album instead of a piece of bealzeboss’ horn.

Good point @Alfred . Instead of It playing through you (POD), You play gracefully and easily through It (Golden Pick).
-
Now that tickled my newly destroyed funny bone. Thanks Alfred, it actually works.

Very fitting for this Padawan to read your account today – May the Fourth (Be With You) Carol. Thanks, I am just learning the ways of the Jedi Guitar Geeks.

Hehe Jack I just got the play on words- may the forth be with you as well, LOL!!
It’s funny because when you study ear training, they tell you to think of common songs to help you identify different intervals by ear. I think the first 2 notes of the Star Wars theme is a fourth???? Or maybe that was a fifth, not sure. But it would be so funny if it was a fourth.
Q: What did young Luke’s mother always say at the dinner table??
A: Use the fork, Luke!!!
🤪🥳🤣

Hi Stillhand, @Carol-3M-Stillhand mostly wanted to say hey. You are right the second time it is a fifth but the big descending interval is a fourth. So you need a fifth before you can feel the fourth. hehe. Though after a fifth, some would say you can’t feel a thing…….

Hi JumpinJeff!! It’s awesome to chat with you!!! I think we need to do some applied research on the fifth hypothesis that you have just come forth with…
We’d need a control group of course. Any volunteers? 😂
-
🤣🤣
-
Carol – I will volunteer for the out-of-control group.
-
Yes, he’ll be here all week working 2 shows a night. Don’t forget to tip your waitstaff with lots of folding money!

Your Q&A is apt at my daughter’s house as my 6 year old grandson, Luke, is bad about using his fingers, not utensils. 👨🌾
-
If he gets the fourths under control he won’t even need his fingers.🤣

🛸🖖 The kid’s already spacey.

You have great insight, Padawan. However, it is rarely a Fourth. More commonly a Seventh or a Dim (which may be my alter ego’s description, too).

Great story @Carol-3M-Stillhand and a great photo @Jumpin’ Jeff 😜🧙♂️😎
