Guitar picks from Blakkheim

Am I the only one that doesn't use a pick? I use my fingernails

Damn, and you can shred too!

I use the big triangular ones too.. But I'm a bassist, so I need a bigger pick. Actually, even with the bigger pics, I've had problems of them slipping out of my fingers when they get all sweaty playing live. That's why I've started to carve a grip-part to them with a knife. Few slashes up and a few down to make a grid, and they don't slip anymore. Works for me.

And please don't give me shit about not using my fingers, doing around 200bpm tremolos with my stubby fingers just doesn't work...

Wouldn't mind a Katatonia pick, but I don't think I'd use it. Picks are cheap, so why use and abuse something that cool...

Triangular picks > Teardrop picks. Triangle picks are much easier to hold and you don't have to hold them a certain way.

I use fingernails for acoustic and classic and Jazz III for electric

I usually play with Jim Dunlop 0.88's or 1.00's. I'm probably gonna get a couple of Kata picks for fun when their new CD everntually is up for order on katatonia.com

I use my finger for clasical.

I remember wheni first started to play the electric guitar i couldnt get comfortable with any pick, so i let my fingernails grow and i used them for everything, nowadays i use jim dunlop jazz 3 picks theyre the only ones that fit me.. The fact is that i started to use them because after a gig i had to wait a while to play again because my fingernailswere diminished by the work they had endured :S ( also they made a lot of noise when i played shred ).


( ahh yeah by the way where can i get those Kata picks ? )

[Hobo]

i heard stings baseplayer (when he doesnt play himself) uses sticks to play the base.
my friend told me after he went to a sting show.

if i stick a stick through my throat, can i sing?

 

[Argyle]

The bass is a percussion instrument. Just like man. At least in my band. So using sticks would be quite proper.

 

[Jinn]

if i stick a stick through my throat, can i sing?

..if you stick a stick through your throat, then you'd have a stuck stick stuck in your throat....

 

[Hobo]

how stuck would a woodstick stick if i would stick a stick stuck in my...err... throat..

 

[Jinn]

depends on how stuck that stick you stuck in your throat is compared to a stick stuck in a sticky situation.

That question is a stickler, no doubt.
