Les Paul

les paul tinas picks pick plectrum collection
OK. This pick is THE business!!!! It was made by Les Paul. He stuck the sandpaper on so he would have a better grip and wrote 'H' on each side for 'hard.' It was given to me by the Mahwah Museum which houses a Les Paul exhibition. Mahwah is where Les lived for several years before he died.  Because this actually belonged to Les Paul (as opposed to the mass printed little black ones you can buy with his name printed on), this has to be the most special pick of my collection.
Link to the Mahwah Museum here.

tinas picks pick plectrum collection maroon 5 adam levine
Why 222?  Adam Levine sports a tattoo saying '222' & has also launched a clothing range called 222.

Here's his explanation of why 222.  “Well, there’s a place called 222, the first studio we recorded our first demo at in Hollywood and it was this tiny little building. It no longer exists, actually, or it’s under a different name now, but it was the first studio we recorded at and then that demo tape…we had this tape and we took it around. That’s kind of what started our whole career! Even back then, we said 222 was going to be our lucky number and it just kind of stuck with us.”

Pick from Bob Lanzetti
These guys are absolutely AMAZING!!! I fell in love with them on YouTube, but the videos, while being excellent, don't actually do them the full justice they deserve.  Live, the vibe is ELECTRIC!

They play instrumental fusion led by bassist, composer and producer Michael League. Brilliant compositions.  They are SERIOUSLY good, seriously tight and the onstage rapport is infectious! Great, great guys! This was one of THE best live gigs I've ever seen!! If you get a chance, GO SEE THEM!

Their music has been described as "jafunkadansion" for its genre-bending qualities of instrumental and dance music. "They're one of the most inventive in sound and funk since Maynard Ferguson's fusion years." Check out their website here.
