They're awesome! But I have to agree in the practice part as well. It's all in the wrists -------------------- GMC is not just a website... It's a lifestyle!

I guess the pointy ones because their the most precise and have the least resistance.
And they should be relatively thick/rigid. The Dunlop Jazz 3 is very popular. - Jonas This post has been edited by 29a: Feb 4 2009, 04:45 PM -------------------- My Website | My Gear | Elixir Nanoweb Strings Review | Installing Schaller Security Locks

Well picks don't really make much difference, but thin and pointy is generally best for speed.

I also think that the type of pick is not really deciding about your speed, trainig is the key. The pick will influence your sound though, rounder and thinner picks will for sure take away some of your attack, whick thick pointy picks will even add on your attack.

I think the best pick is the pick you have practiced the most with

OK - I'm going to try the jazz III's for my electric. As for V-picks, I only notice a difference in tone when I use it on my acoustic - it's actually a big tone difference. Anyone hear a tone difference on ELECTRIC (V-picks vs. normal picks)? I hear some. Not like "WHOA! Epiphany!" but I hear a certain difference with my Ernie Ball 11 gouge strings. I guess type of strings may have a saying. This post has been edited by Canis: Feb 4 2009, 11:11 PM -------------------- GMC is not just a website... It's a lifestyle!

I also use Jazz III, but currently I've got some dunlop purple .96's to try and they are great. Picks are chosen mainly because of the sound, you can achieve speed with almost any kind of pick.

Well personally i dont use v-picks but assuming that there v shaped there is less surface contact to reduce ''pick attack'' and it should be REALY easy to get pinch harmonics. Victor. They're kinda V shaped, yes.. And made of a acrylic material with much less friction then common plastic picks. www.v-picks.com/ -------------------- GMC is not just a website... It's a lifestyle!
