This clue might be a double definition.

'chooses' is the first definition.
(picking is a kind of choosing)

'guitar players' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for picks that I've seen before include "tools for breaking up rock" , "Chooses - tools for breaking rocks" , "Choices" , "More than one tool" , "Goes for" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
