-- No Guitar Needed As Air Picks Contains Guitar Riffs from Iconic Bands like the Rolling Stones --

BRYAN, Ohio, Oct. 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- It's now possible to literally 'rock out' to some of the most beloved classic songs from renowned artists including the Rolling Stones, as Air Picks launches nationwide at Target stores. This innovative new musical product from The Ohio Art Company (www.ohioart.com), allows music lovers of all ages to play classic tunes as if they were a lead guitarist without having to use an actual guitar. Air Picks contains guitar riffs of iconic rock songs that play with the simple flick of the pick - similar to strumming a guitar string, but with Air Picks, there's no big, bulky guitar.

Air Picks comes in three individual assortments, including compositions from ABKCO's The Rolling Stones - Hot Rocks 1964-1971; Classic Rock; and Rebel Rock. Each colorfully designed pick has a whammy bar button for added rocking and features classic songs such as "I Can't Get No Satisfaction," "Brown Sugar" and "Jumping Jack Flash" from the Rolling Stones pick; "Smoke on the Water" and "Wild Thing" from the Classic Rock pick; and "Sweet Home Alabama" from the Rebel Rock pick. People of all ages love music and both young and old aspire to be musicians. Air Picks brings the magic of being a guitarist and rocking out to classic songs. Everyone can now love, listen and learn just with the flick of the pick.

"This is, without a doubt, one of the most interesting and coolest products to hit the market in 2011," says Larry Killgallon, president of Ohio Art. "This will appeal to both the young and young at heart, each of whom enjoys the opportunity to listen to - and play along with - some of rock's greatest guitarists and music legends. With Air Picks, there's no need to spend money on pricey instruments or lessons, and they come in a variety of colors," he adds.

"What's more," Killgallon adds, "is that Air Picks are popular with tweens, teens, young adults and even middle aged folks, each of whom yearns to play along with some of this generation's most iconic bands."

Air Picks is the first and only product that allows music lovers to be their own musician without having to own a real instrument. They can express their creativity in a fun and entertaining manner, while also listening to some of the most popular songs of all time. Built for portability, Air Picks are the perfect size, fit to bring with you anywhere you go. One doesn't need to spend time carrying around huge instruments; instead you can just pull out your pick and rock on.

"We anticipate strong consumer demand for Air Picks as it becomes available at leading retailers across the United States," Killgallon concludes.
