Members lz4005 Posted January 7, 2013 Members Share Posted January 7, 2013 No love for rounded triangles? I use those 95% of the time, but I keep a couple of 0.38mm ones around for occasional fast rhythm parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Zappa74 Posted January 8, 2013 Members Share Posted January 8, 2013 I realized that the one pick I've been using for about 5 years now is a bit worn down... I'm going to use it till it's a circle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
