Hi GMC,
Just wanted to share this vid with you guys. It's how to sharpen your guitar picks using your carpet. (I know it sounds crazy) I've used this trick on a lot of old plectrums (I use dunlops .73 mm) which had lost all of their sharpness and now they're as good as new. So it's actually a huge money-saver. Sharpen your guitar picks Also be sure to check out his other vids P.s. I'm sorry but I couldn't embed this vid -------------------- Guitars:

That is a cool trick indeed.
Too bad I have no carpet, but I think it will work with sandpaper too. |

I use this already, learnt it when learning pick scraping, it's great if you do a lot of pick scrapes to repair. Melts it smooth with friction too!

I never knew about this carpet trick Hopefully it won't shred the carpet of "over sharpening"

hahah..... I see a GMC funny.... It's like your friend walks into your room. He looks at your floor and exclaims, "What happened to your carpet?!" (The carpet is all frayed and messed up) You reply with, "oh, just sharpening my picks." haha... i thought of that when my dad told me to be sure not to snag the carpet. I does work after all with vpicks... COOL! haha. totally. or she walks in to the hubby sharpening his pick just as the carpet catches on fire! -------------------- The more I practice, the more I wish I had time to practice!

Hhaha, yeah, one day someone will come into my room, and see black arced holes on the carpet and ask "what's that", and I will say "you don't want to know"
