I use the Yellow Dunlop Tortex picks... whatever size those are. I don't even know haha. I think 0.73?

 

[Night Reaper]

[Macharius]

I just use hard Fender picks, does the pick really affect playing? I've gotten so used to Fender picks that ive never tried anything else...

 

[Jeremy.]

When I use Fender picks they crack off after like 30 minutes of playing haha. Ive never had a dunlop yellow one break on me... I just end up losing them a lot

 

[Macharius]

You can play metal with thin picks too, not many people do it, but people like different stuff, stop throwing out random facts.

Picks does affect your playing abit, but as you get better the pic doesn't matter that much, but it does affect your tone by alot.

Exactly. Paul Gilbert uses a pick that's thinner than 1mm now and he's still fucking playing the msot terrifying guitar ever.


On that note, I got my GET OUT OF MY YARD DVD today!!!!

It's pretty much just him in a studio showing you all of his fav parts of each song and explaining it. Also, there's explanation on legato and picking technique, plus a live Racer X guitar solo from the "Superheroes" tour.

The 2nd DVD is a live show in Japan.

Those things practise the muscles on your arm. To practise hammer-ons and pull-offs, you can do hammer-on/pull-off excercises. Duh.
