[musictlk] chicken picking

Fri May 31 20:58:21 UTC 2013

I agree, Mr. Gwizdala!
I can't stand picks, because they always get stuck between the strings!
Blessings, Joshua

Timothy,
        IMHO, nothing is better than the picks the Creator gave me! Once in
awhile I will use a plat pick for effect, but I haven't used one in months!
All the songs on my album were recorded without a pick, except for the ones
my banjo/slide guitar player used!

Peace!
Marion

andy, i seriously hate regular picks.
 my friend scott runs a company called cactus.
 they're located in alabama.
 i have his pick he calls agovvi.
 it's 0.2 Centameeters.
 it's so small it can be put in the pom of my hand for plucking or i can use
it for that as well. depending on the sound i want.
 actually i am having a hard time using biger picks now i've gotten so use
to the agovvi.
 anyway. that's something for you to think about. smaller picks allow for
more control.
 dunlop makes good ones but i like cactus better myself.
