sweep picking

A guitar technique used for playing fast arpeggios. One note per string is fretted by the left hand, while the right hand sweeps down/up on the strings in one motion. More than one string cannot ring simultaneously or it will become a chord/whatever.

The difficult part of sweep picking lies within getting your left hand to fret the notes in sync with the right hand's sweeping.

Artists that commonly use sweep picking include Yngwie Malmsteen, Paul Gilbert, and Alexi Laiho

the pick of destiny

A guitar pick made of green ivory or some shit that will allow the person wielding it to play hot licks way beyond his capabilities. It's actually made of Satan's tooth. Tenacious D broke it in half, but later severed Satan's horn to replace the pick as the bong of destiny.

'Cause it's the pick of Destiny, child, you know that we'll be rockin' 'cuz it's fuckin' insane...

Jeff: Yeah..you pulled it off alright. (smiles wickedly)
