Does anyone have any experience with the Rhythm Pick?

So I was in rudy's music recently and picked up a new fangled device they call the Rhythm Pick... Strange looking device, bought on impulse, never thought to ask how to use it :/ now I'm back in Nashville frustrated. Anyone here have experience with this product? If so, can you help a brother out?

I have one but I have to move some things to get to it. My "Clapper" "Chia Pet" "Flowbee" and "Gator Grip" are all in the way.

Nice site, I love the dueling guitars shooting blue lasers.

That site looks like it was left over from Angelfire in 1995

It's actually kind of interesting to watch the video. It adds a Pick Attack tone to phrasing that would actually have to be finger picked. It's like slow motion strumming to get the desired effect.

If I had enough hair, I may had already had a use for it.... No seriously, I thought it looked pretty self expanitory. After getting it home, remembering that I had it, and then trying to use it...? Well, you get the picture. Tried their website, but just don't have the time. How do you hold it(that's what she said)? Let's start there. Do I put my finger through the hole or what?

Middle finger in the hole. Try an Em chord. Set the pick so the middle pick is resting on the Low E string, then slowly strum downward across the strings!

Thanks for the advice. I'm gonna give it another shot. On my iPhone, so I can't watch the video on the site. Can't find it on YouTube. Shoulda gotta Droid

The last weird pick I bought was that thing with the stainless steel springs hanging dpwn that looked like a Pacman. It made my acoustic sound pretty cool but then I noticed that after a minute of playing, not only were my wound strings wearing down by so was my pickguard. Into the round file.

If the website is any indication, you need to travel back to 1997 to use it properly.
