In alternate embodiments, additional devices, or combinations of illustrated devices, may be added to, or combined, without limiting the scope to the embodiments disclosed herein.

    (7) Referring to FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B, an illustrated view of an exemplary guitar pick 100 for strumming guitar strings is presented. The guitar pick 100 is useful for always being in a proper place for strumming the guitar strings. The guitar pick 100 is further easy to place on one's finger and to use. The guitar pick 100 is further efficient in costs.

    (8) The guitar pick 100 has a pick 110 and a bracket 150. The pick 110 has a top 111, a bottom 112 and a strumming end 113. The strumming end 113 of the pick 110 of the guitar pick 100 is configured to make contact with and strum a string of a guitar.

    (9) The pick 110 is preferably made of a plastic material, such as nylon, Delrin, celluloid, etc., however other materials are hereby contemplated, including, but not limited to, rubber, felt, tortoiseshell, wood, metal, glass, tagua, stone. The guitar pick 110 is preferably an acute isosceles triangle where two equal corners rounded and a third corner less rounded, other shapes are hereby contemplated, including, but not limited to, shark's fin pick, shark's edge pick.

    (10) The bracket 150 has a first side 151, a second side 152, an opening 155 and a coupling device 153. The coupling device 153 is coupled to the pick 110 by inserting the coupling device 153 through the bottom 112 of the pick 110 in two positions 114, 115 exiting the top 111 of the pick 110. The coupling device 153 further has a curved or bent portion 154 on the top 111 of the pick 110 to secure the bracket 150 to the pick 110.

    (11) In FIG. 1A, a first end 153 of the bracket 150 is inserted into a top 111 of the pick 110 significantly near the back 157 of the pick 150. The second end 154 of the bracket 150 is inserted into the top 111 of the pick 110 significantly near the back 157 of the pick 150. The first end 153 and the second end 154 of the bracket 150 extends through the pick 110 and is coupled to the bottom 112 of the pick 110 to secure the bracket 150 to the pick 110.

    (12) The bracket 150 is preferably made of a plastic material, such as nylon, Dekin, celluloid, etc., however other materials are hereby contemplated, including, but not limited to, rubber, felt, aluminum, etc.

    (13) Moving now to FIG. 2, an illustrated use of the exemplary guitar pick shown in FIG. 1 is presented. Once the coupling device 152 of the bracket 150 has been installed onto the pick 110, a user places a hand 200 with one or more fingers 201, 202 substantially near the second side 152 of the bracket 150.

    (14) The user inserts one of the fingers 201 into the bracket 150 at an opening 155 allowing access to the second side 152 of the bracket 150 until the bracket 150 is securely coupled to the finger 201.

    (15) Once the bracket 150 is securely coupled to the finger 201, the guitar pick 100 is adjusted to a proper position. The user then strums one or more strings 301, 302, 303, 304, 305, 306 of a guitar 300. After completing playing the guitar 300, the user can remove the finger 201 from the bracket 150 for further use and storage of the guitar pick.
