Morphology
The meaning is directly and compositionally derived from 'guitar' (the instrument) + 'pick' (a small plectrum), forming a straightforward noun–noun compound meaning 'a pick used for a guitar.' This is a common, cross-linguistically transparent compositional pattern built from frequent words, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
Guitar pick comes from the verb pick because players used a small tool to pick the strings of a guitar, that is, to 'pluck' them. That's why a guitar pick means a small, flat tool used to strum or 'pluck' the strings.
