Hello all! As of this morning, I have officially been endorsed by V-Picks! I have been using them for some time now, thanks to Todd, and I can honestly say that I love them. Below is a link to the site. I do talk about them often in our Saturday chats, so no, I am not spamming the rest of you. I am just elated that they would endorse someone like me
http://v-picks.com/ I personally prefer the Stiletto Buffed. http://v-picks.com/productdetails.php?q=215&page=picks I got the idea to use it after Todd had a Switchblade Custom Buffed for his shredding awesomeness. http://v-picks.com/productdetails.php?q=214&page=picks These picks can be a bit pricey, but they are definitely worth it. The acrylic they are made of actually has a heat-activated grip! This makes it damn near impossible to drop them. Plus, they are comfortable and fast. Let me know if you have any questions. My custom picks are going to be complete in a week or two and then I will post a video on YouTube. Thanks for taking the time to read this! -------------------- All the elders have fallen down...

Thanks for the advice, I switch right hand technique pretty often, as I try to get as much tone as I can get. I noticed that most people, especially if the play faster try to pick as efficient as possible. In regards to that I try to improve my efficiency when picking fast. But off course there are exceptions. When I see great guitarists like Marty Friedman or Steve Morse, which have a very strange pick holding technique, it gives you the point and underlines what you say. Maybe I am overdoing it by thinking too much about it. cheers, S. Yes. The Acrylic that V-Picks are made of do have a very distinct Pick Chirp. This page was designed to teach people how to eliminate that: http://v-picks.com/tipsdetails.php?title=P...F%3F&page=1 I also recommend trying the Picks that Todd had custom made. If that is too large for you(it shouldn't be) then use the Stiletto Buffed like I do. They are so sharp that minimal contact is made(if you learn to pick with the tip. Research the Stylus Pick for that. There are a few threads here, that discuss it). I hardly get any chirp from my Stilettos. Maybe it is because I really only use the tip, and a very slight angle. Oddly enough, I stumbled onto that link a couple days ago. and it instructs people to pick a lot like I do. Hope this helped! -Brandon -------------------- All the elders have fallen down...
