    Send me your picks.

    Hey all you pick players out there. I'm clueless about these things (and lazy). I wanna see what it is like to play with a pick. So if anyone would be so kind, could you send me your favorite style of pick? PM me for addy if interested.

    or if you're making it out to Dallas, could you bring some spares?

    I play those skinny 6 string things - but I play them with a 2mm Gator Grip which has been likened to a roof tile - Its a mans pick!
    I'll bring a load

    When I started using picks, the regular-size picks would slip out of my hands whenever I started playing faster. To compensate for my lousy technique, I got slightly larger picks, just about the size of a half-dollar coin I think, for the extra surface area to grip onto. Using regular picks isn't a problem anymore, but I'll be sure to bring some of the larger ones anyway.

    Don't use them much, but when I do, it is either the Ernie Ball heavies or F*nder Mediums.
