For Electric Guitar Players!

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.

 

I have a bunch of picks... Usually don't play with a pick though.

 

fender 351 heavy pick ..

use to buy some nylon variety, but havent in a while.

 

i rarely use a pick but when i do i use 3mm stubby on an electric

 

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.

 

Picks sound a lot cleaner and can be a lot faster than what i do. im just used to using just my thumb

 

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.

 

I used to hammer picks out of quarters...

 

I knew a dude who used to do that, and they wrre pretty cool. At least, they looked cool.
ive never seen a wooden pick. Got a pic? No pun intended..

 

This is just one that I googled but his are similar.

 

They certainly look pretty!

 

Sure would like to hear some recordings of you guys..

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.

 

Excellent, im going to listen right now..yes! Please post the vid!

 

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

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

 

Well done! Plant life is good. I like no.8 too. Thanks for sharing..thats killer, and on bandcamp too.

 

I found the fook vid..watching that now...

 

Heh heh..
