Every time you post something, I think you're up to something, but it's just that mischievous grin of yours. Yeah mega mega volutes?"pick?"
I'm glad I don't get asked to do that much.
I greatly prefer fingerstyle, and, I'm not really very good with a pick.
I guess my pref would be for "one of those sorta stiff, fat, felt ones," as that's sort of one tone I can't get with my fingers.
Well...I guess I can get that via palm muting, really.
So.
Not sure why I need a pick, really.
ymmv.
I know the type of pick doesn't make much of a difference
I know the type of pick doesn't make much of a difference, I'm just curious.
Also, does anyone know what type of pick well known pick players use/have used? Such as Paul McCartney, John Paul Jones, Roger Waters, Sting, etc.
I use the Clayton custom picks with my band's name on them. Colored Delrin (.5mm), standard shape.
Hmm, I'mma gonna look into those, something for the bands we play with to remember us by, and I think we might even sell a few off the merch table...
But currently I use Dayva Jazz grips, the Delrin ones. I'm not sure how happy I'll be with another pick, so the Clayton's would probably be promo/merch exclusively, but still worth a punt...
I really like Fender heavys too. I alternate between Fender heavy and Dunlop Tortex .88Fender Heavy, for over 40 years..............but after reading some posts I'm going to try the Jim Dunlop E-H..........
