    How many picks do you have? I have 11.What's your preferred thickness? I have a large almost triangular Stagg .81 with curved edges for heavier riffing,and a USA NYLON.60 for softer grooves.

    Yeah playing with fingers on an electric can sound very sweet.Jeff Beck gave up on picks a long time ago.I just like the precision of a pick for certain styles.

    Ha! Since you asked.....I have exactly one pick. There may be some others stashed away somewhere but I have no idea where. I've had the same pick for a decent number of years (not sure how many) and couldn't even guess how many shows and hours of practice I've played with it. .60mm. I also have no idea why I only have one pick but I like that pick. You'd think it would eventually wear down but it hasn't.

    I bought a felt bass pick once, but have never used it. I just use my hand.

    My son just bought some wooden picks. They look kind of cool but he hasn't mentioned whether he likes them or not. I don't think I would like them much. I like the way the .60mm bends a little in my fingers as I strike the strings.

    Our last disc.

    Fun fact: Track 1-Better Days--was recorded with the whole band at the same time in a single take. If you don't know...usually you are miked up and tracked individually and layered in. So setting up the whole band and miking it all live is a kind of fun different approach. The only thing recorded later was the female vocal who isn't a member of the band.

    Most of these songs are different from one another so if you hate one...the next one might be the one you like. I also have a video of me doing a Snoop Dogg rap song if you want to see it. Cracks me up every time I watch it. :)

    Do yourself a favor and smoke a big, fat bowl..and then listen to it! :)

    And my favorites are probably #8 and #14. Mellow.
