It's a magnet shaped like a guitar pick. As someone who unfortunately had to study electromagnetic field theory in college, I am pretty certain that the Xpick couldn't possibly do what it claims to be able to do, no matter how much play technique someone learned. If you could significantly affect the sound of the strings from a distance longer than an inch, the Xpick would need to be the strongest permanent magnet in the world, and it would probably be dangerous to wave around in your bare hands.
Exactly, and if it worked - which it doesn't - it would always make all strings ring like crazy, not a specific one, and not in any way articulated like shown in their doctored video.
Unfortunately, I am one of the people that purchased an XPICK. Currently, my XPICK is on the fridge, holding a photo, close to the Tour Eiffel and the Colosseum magnets. Probably that's the best use you can make of it.
I'm another one from the samuraiguitarist vid. I actually bought one of these picks on the same premise you did, thinking it could do some cool ebow stuff. I played around with it for AGES, experimented with different pickup heights, uncoated strings (I usually use elixirs), different guitars, different pickups, fast attack, slow attack, EVERYTHING. I left a comment on one of their youtube videos and they basically said "just keep trying!". I did for a while and just gave up on it, thinking it was gonna be one of those things that I'd have to invest a lot of time in, or majorly overhaul my technique or something. So I just stuck it to my desk and forgot about it for 4 months. But now after watching samuraiguitarist and your vids, I tried it again and now I'm fired up too! I think I'm going to contact them and try and get a refund.
I saw the review from samurai guitarist, he mentioned your channel 🙂 Xpick is the biggest bullshit scam every, nobody should buy these shitty picks, you can almost get an ebow for that kind of money
Yeah its all good. Imma have this pick sent out to either glenn, ola, or justin. I am going to make sure someone gets it. Hell ill just send it with a note in a worst case scenario. Someone will help I am sure
there was a part in the xpick commercial where they presented magnetic waves as an unknown language "how they speak? Who knows" that was not just a funny distracting joke, to even pass that joke off in that advertisement means they come from a frame of reference where they think most of the people watching dont know how magnets work to, and psychologically that is a tactic to target those who also wouldn't know how magnetic waves work or how a guitar communicates, specifically to protect sales, from that bit alone you can tell this entire company is a scam...at least with this product .
Funny how they never commented on this video.... O right I'm ghuessing you deleted those right? This pick is one of the most obvious scams out there. If it was as good as it was every single guitar player on the planet would use it.

What's your other channel? Granted if it's politics I probably won't watch Too much about it. I'm pretty independent and agree and disagree with both sides... but I like your videos here and I would like to support however I can. Edit.. there it is. . Just got to it. Nvm... lol
I disagree with your politics but respect the grind man! It’s sad there isn’t enough civil people in this world that you need to avoid linking it with this channel.
I bought an xpick as an xmas trinket... it arrived and it literally does nothing. It can make some goofy sounds but 101% unusable. To be honest I never even thought about it again but seeing the recent wave of videos, good on you... complete scam / waste of time and money, shame on them.
You're not doing it right! What you don't see clearly in the video from x-pick is that the way you get the best sound is you have to play the PICK with the GUITAR! I thought that was obvious 🤔
Your good at debating😂 you lost an argument with yourself! 6 years. Man I am married to for 20 years, I am good at debating as well, at least she tells me I am.
I understand that you didn't get what you thought your were getting (an E-Bow alternative), but have you learned how to do all of things it is actually capable of? It takes WAY more work than I ever intended, but it's pretty cool when you finally get the hang of it. It should definitely be marketed more appropriately so that people are more clear about it, but I would say it's more misleading advertising than a straight up scam.
@@forlornhope_ They keep picking names like "Jason Rocker" and "EverydayMusician" why do scammers think we're as stupid as they are? It's like when you receive an email from "apple" and it's full of spelling and grammar errors.
The x-pick scientists definitely learned all they needed to know about magnets from Insane Clown Posse
That wouldn't surprise me XD
LMAO
It's magic.

I'm glad you watched our videos! Thank you :) definitely try to get that refund, those scammers need to pay every single person back
They are deleting comments, lol.
Yeah its really sad lol

Exactly! And thank you so much for coming (:
1:39 and now a channel with 1 MILLION subs has picked it up. Well done bro
Thank you! I am very thankful he did (: It was a very nice thing to do
It just needs more cowbell in order to work as advertised 🤣😂🤣
Damn it! Why didn't I try it on a cowbell? XD
Can’t believe they made money off of a magnet shaped like a pick
Yeah its nuts, I can't believe they put so much time in the design either.
I never heard of xpick and I don't plan on giving them my money.
Its insane trash. I am pretty pissed off at their shit response tbh
@@forlornhope_ That sucks.
Yeah its all good. Imma have this pick sent out to either glenn, ola, or justin. I am going to make sure someone gets it. Hell ill just send it with a note in a worst case scenario. Someone will help I am sure
@@forlornhope_ Ola Englund will find this xpick absolutely hilarious for all the wrong reasons.
I sure hope so XD hoping they want to get involved. They may not want to even touch this at all. But I sure am going to try to let them know!

I definitely agree. Its flat out embarassing
I heard they are killer for nylon string guitars, too 😂
Oh dang I should have tried XD that would have been hilarious
Holy shit. I just heard about that today.. I thought the X pick was was April fools joke. That ridiculous nonsense is real?
Oh yes very real XD It took a month for customs to get that pick to him. He hit me up after I made my first video over this garbage haha
It's a neodymium magnet in the shape of a pick hahaha! What a scam!
100% haha
Hell hath no fury like a musician scorned! :)
We musicians bring the fire and brimstone! And I have mostly brimstone XD
Funny how they never commented on this video.... O right I'm ghuessing you deleted those right?
This pick is one of the most obvious scams out there. If it was as good as it was every single guitar player on the planet would use it.
Agreed, I love how they market it as "the pick of destiny" as well XD

Its all good haha. Its just me ranting about government
@Forlorn Hope You're good man. If there is anything to have ammunition to rant about, it's the government.
Agreed for sure XD
Do not bother. Not only is it "ranting about government" but the emphasis is very much on ranting.
I disagree with your politics but respect the grind man! It’s sad there isn’t enough civil people in this world that you need to avoid linking it with this channel.
Its all good and I respect that :) Yeah this world has become intolerant to people with differing ideas. Its sad tbh. Thank you for coming here :)
@@forlornhope_ I mean, if your "differing ideas" happen to include supporting people who are wildly intolerant, you brought it on yourself lol

Dude the Samurai guitarist and I have tested this 100% It does NOTHING as advertised :p
Perhaps you could video yourself making the pick work, rather than simply asserting that the pick works.
Show us?
