El Dangerouso Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 Just interested in seeing the variety. Clearly this is a personal choice, and I don't think one is any better than the other. It's all about expressing YOURSELF. That being said.... Primary Dunlop Big Stubby 2.0mm Secondary Right hand multifinger tap Hybrid (Very Rarely) Fingerstyle Love to see how others make it happen!

Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 Clayton 1mm pics. Used a violin bow before. Side note....Kashmir is not the Zeppelin song that featured it. It was Dazed and Confused. Jimmy Page also used the technique on a Yardbirds song that I cant remember the name of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Dangerouso Posted April 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 I knew I'd get that wrong and somebody would call me on it. Clearly, I'm not the biggest Led Zep fan. Thanks for setting me straight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluespresence Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 Pick? What's a pick????? Index, middle and thumb, and if I need it the ring finger......did I mention I play bass? I know a lot of bass players use a pick but I never tried it for more than 3 or 4 seconds - about the time it takes for the pick to fly out of my hand and I have to use my fingers anyway! I tried a pick on the mandolin and I really like the way it sounds but I can't train my retarded hand to hold it, so I just use my fingers to pick and my thumb to strum.

GuitarMaestro Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 I know a lot of bass players use a pick Only the amateurs and very few good players play bass with a pick. It just sounds not half as good as if you play with the fingers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ibreakemineedtobuildem Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 1.0mm Takemine any1 ever heard of "Dava Control"picks I had 2 and lost em and can't find em anywhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Headen Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 .46 Jim Dunlop Nylon is my primary. I play some nasty rhythm guitar, and I think the light gague gives a better sound (plus I don't break my strings). I do ttend to bang a lot and when I was using medium Fender picks, strings were a' snappin'. I tried the Fender light gague, but those picks broke 1 a song. My friend gave me one of these nylons, and I love it. Only problem is that it has the gripper things on it, which is good for holding the pick, but sometimes, when I'm play extremely fast strumming patterns (a la Shane Barnard) it's easier to use the shorter rounded sides, but the grippers tend to stick to the strings and then go flyin' .

Saber Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 Lisa Simpson "In the future people will grow an extra finger" Bart "Five fingers? Ewwwww! Freak show!'' My brother had a teacher who had 5 fingers and a thumb on each hand, a birth defect but all fully functional. That guy should take up the guitar!
