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.

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.

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.

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 .

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.
