I feel that OP was calling for a comprehensive opinion piece. Therefore, please bear with me, this may be long but hopefully useful. This is all grounded in physics. As an appetizer and also TL/DR, here is a list of the parameters I consider have a more or less significant impact of how a pick...

Motorcycle fall for the left hand, one cut by cutter in middle school class, another one due to punching the guy in the mirror who's looking at me weird. All of this happened 20+ years ago, I don't have any gory pic.

I think it's all in the margin of error, and therefore down to the amount of practice one has had with their instrument and the muscle memory. Some people will find fretted better because their margin of error is already within, say, half a fret width or less, so that their finger will land...

Apart from open strings I have no clue what note I am playing.

Type of wine depends on what the food is. Golden rule. So I can't answer the poll. I'm French and I live in Japan. The sweet spot for me is 10-15 USD équivalent, and at the moment in this price range your best bet is Italian wine. 15-25 USD, can be considered if I want something special...

On the gig, just play whatever and nobody will notice.

I do not own an amp (or rather, just a small one). It's rental studio for practice and whatever is available at the live house. And since I usually play covers, I need some stuff. Dirt for Gojira. Chorus for Guns N Roses. Added a tuner/mute pedal. Not a lot of things though, and nothing...

Hi everyone. Someone in my area is selling nordstrand big splits from a ehb-1505-SWL. I should be able to put them instead of the bartholin's of my ehb1005F, right? Should be same size? Thanks

Note: I also consider your other message in this page ("I certainly don't want to come across..."). I'm not sure the point you highlight above is the right one. Don't you already have something that you can play more often? I was starting to write details about this, but I reconsidered: I...

"one of my very closest friends" Why would you ever consider selling this?

You play through the string but your pick goes above the next string.
