And no, in the last 20 years this one didn't wear out a bit. I will take a pic later, so you can check it out. How the heck have you not lost it?! I have tried a couple V-picks...but I keep going back to my .73mm Brain Picks. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

The ultra lites are really awesome.. I just think the thicker ones have unwanted sounds when you pick, theres a "scratch" sound if you don't pick the string in the exact right angle.. This dissapears with the slim ones.. But take my word, when you drop a ultra lite clear v-pick and the room is not perfectly lit i'ts REALLY hard to find .. The thicker ones have "facets" that shine back but the lites don't. just a little interruption from me You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

And yup, it is for sure my pick of destiny You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
