[jucker1797]

[RanDomGirL2632]

[prayersofanathema]

[ryryrulezd00d]

@Shockwawe1994 Or you can print out the shape of a guitar pick, cut it out, and trace the outline onto the CD?

[coolking1001]

[MadeOfCrazyWood]

i think it's very cool, my favorit band is U2, so i got one of u2's cd's and cut out the Edge's head and then Bono's head :*

[TheDonaloDonoghue]

you can also use credit cards :)

[DRakomol]

[JaamieFraaser]

[Thefreeprideparade]

[canizupu]

@TrueFireTV how do you make a tree in these pick up? o.O 0:28

[scythPA]

oh a bonus...(backround) oh my god a bonus,a bonus, i just said to myself "just shut the fuck up and show me the goddamn bonus!!!!!!" XD

[TheMediafreek]

I fitted 8 in one CD xD

[Warfreak57]

My brother used a blu-ray disk -.-'.

[rock4ever060]

people who want to make a guitar pick want to make 1 cuz THEY DONT HAVE A GUITAR PICK!!!!!!!! 

[Cobra91Serbia]

@rock4ever060

Print a picture of a pick from the internet (Google has a lot of 'em) and use that as a tracer. Or just draw it without a tracer and shape it with sand paper later. It's easy as that...

[roach851]

thk!! u guys rule and your video on how to make guitar strap helped me to!

[diversereel]

when he said smooth i felt my muscles relax.

Were you guys high while making this?

[yutuubfreak]

@dsi374 you wouldnt have a pick to make the cd pick....

[kimmyal97]

@dsi374 true :/

[Mattlarrivee]

If I ever get famous then I'll use something cool like that. For now, 2mm dunlops

[downhill240]

Kewl!

[TacooGrill]

if you have a guitar pick, why do you need to make one? and waste a cd in the process?

[chinoandfriends123]

@TacooGrill well if your like me who loses guitar picks by the sec that would be better than buying them all the time

[radushaunbrian007]

@TacooGrill Because you can always borrow a guitar pick from a friend and use a scratched CD to make your own pick after you lost yours.

[prleLTD]

@TacooGrill

Beacuse real picks are valuable!!!! In fact they are woth a lot more than you are!!!!

:D

seriously why paying 1 € homemade is cooler!!

[ionlyblade]

@TacooGrill i got only a few picks and i can't buy some often and i only got a few

[nchollywood]

@TacooGrill Because then you can have extras in case you lose one.

[lokboxx]

@TacooGrill different sound and it looks boss

[aFreeCriminal]

@TacooGrill you idiot do you know how many picks a guitarist goes through

[robertsensabaugh1990]

@TacooGrill cause you know, its impossible to lose picks. -.-

[sal4619]

@TacooGrill what if you lose it, and what if the cd is useless?

[NOAM5800]

@TacooGrill I would only use it in a dire situation, and if the cd was fucked

[funofsk8ing]

@TacooGrill he said old cd, like those scratched, ugly ones lying around in your desk drawers that you can use and not having to throw 'em away

[extremeguitarshredr]

@TacooGrill you dont! just like you DONT HAVE to play guitar, or how you DONT HAVE to comment, or how you DONT HAVE to watch this video =D

[stylianos87]

@TacooGrill probably because you only have one pick (you might lose that) and you have many cds that you don't really need. for example i am now in university and i have learning cds from high school!! now that's garbage ;p

[cazarious08]

@TacooGrill cuz U R recycling

[ArianeQube]

@cazarious08 recycling a fucking pick ??? 

[AmyTwilightFan]

@TacooGrill because you may loose that pick.. and is good to have more just in case.. (sorry for my english)

[MrNickboard]

@TacooGrill cause some guys dont have guitar pics! and no one has a RAINBOW guitar pick!!!

[KeTeVemCovers]

Thanks!!!

[BigWillThePrince]

instead of using sand paper, cant you just rub it across like concrete or something? 

[ron7006]

can I use this technique on a pennywise cd?

[JustAnotherGuy66]

Hail DIY

[nick2100]

Don't lick it, taste bad

hahahaha

[daevczen]

Oh you funny little monkeys. I'm going to try that.

[moe354sa]

[CannibalZombieKiller]

[vlog1234567]

u can use a nail file and u can do this with old xbox cases

[DistortedV12]

can you use a nail file?

[DaleStrickland]

3:28

He said "aboot" :o

[ItIsmell69]

@TacticalTupperware soo why are we puting it on a dvd or even a c.d player ?

in that case why couldnt we use it as a guitar pick ?

[TacticalTupperware]

@ItIsmell69 Well last time I checked we don't hack up the CD first releasing toxic particles in the air before we put it into a CD player.

[jc8984]

jejej nice video XD

[13thelephant]

Or buy a guitar pick for 50 cents.

[zwendkos]

@13thelephant I think the point of this video is just to show you how to do a cool little do it yourself project

[capt12b]

Cool idea, I will give it a try. I wonder if I make my picks out of a SRV or Hendrix CD if some how I might play a little better :-)

[GutarFreak456]

@capt12b why would u ruin a perfect cd like hendrix or srv anyway?

[Chumbbo]

@capt12b YOU BETTER NOT CUT UP THAT CD hah jk
