A musical device controller and system that includes an electric guitar having strings and a pick-up that produces an electrical music signal from vibrations of the strings, a musical effect generator that receives the electrical music signal from the guitar and alters the musical signal to produce a musical effect, a guitar pick for striking the strings to cause the vibrations, and a force sensing device mounted on the guitar pick. The force sensing device has a pair of electrical leads connected to the musical effect generator, and a pressure sensitive material that is formed of a semiconductor material having microprotrusions or a pressure sensitive ink. The electrical leads are in contact with the pressure sensitive material such that electrical resistance between the pair of leads incrementally and repeatably decreases as a force applied to the force sensing device incrementally increases. The musical effect generator is responsive to, and varies the musical effect according to, the resistance between the pair of leads.
