Pick fruit with each tart oddly filling (8)

I believe the answer is:

plectrum

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'pick' is the definition.
(a guitar pick)

'fruit with each tart oddly filling' is the wordplay.
'fruit with' becomes 'plum' (plum is a kind of fruit. I am not sure about the 'with' bit.**).
'oddly' indicates alternate letters.
'filling' indicates putting letters inside.
'each'+'tart'='eachtart'
The alternate letters of 'eachtart' are 'ectr'.
'plum' enclosing 'ectr' is 'PLECTRUM'.

Can you help me to learn more?
