Members kkyle Posted May 14, 2005 Members Share Posted May 14, 2005 In 1967 I started using a nylon pick, can't remember the name. It was the first nylon we had seen and it never broke. I would use the back side sometimes for the bite sound it gave. For some reason I never lost it and by 1973 "Magic Pick" was famous with my band. Years later, whenever I open my ES 335 up Magic Pick still sits between the strings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rgordonrn Posted May 14, 2005 Members Share Posted May 14, 2005 Originally posted by tamolina My point was that I always lose them before they have a chance to wear. And I don't know where the hell they go...Someone on here mentioned that he cuts his own picks out of old credit cards and such. I think I might try that.... I know where they go, they sneak out at night, and run off with my socks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members onetubetone Posted May 14, 2005 Members Share Posted May 14, 2005 Oh yeah, the material of a pick definately colors your tone. Just try like, a penny as a pick versus a heavy dunlop or something. You'll notice a big difference. As for the Tortis picks not flexing much... this is very true. But that's what's great about them... I can get the acoustic tone I love with a stiffer pick, allowing faster and more accurate picking. I used to use Tortex mediums (the orange ones) before the Tortis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they go bad, you throw them away....I hope... I still have the first set of strings that came off my first guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Paul J. Edwards Posted May 15, 2005 Members Share Posted May 15, 2005 I have been playing a resonater lately and I use my fingers. Better than any pick. Just ask Jeff Beck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
