I tried it on my buffed switchblade v-pick just now and it literally took me 10 seconds. My carpet isn't as course as that either so it should work!

Get something sharp and carve up a nice point on your pick I still have to carve up my claytons but better yet BUY SOME POINTY/SHARPISH PICKS FOLKS! P.S If the Switchblade/jazz/dunlop sharp isn't sharp enough, you can sharpen it a bit by shaving the edge with fine blade. I"ve done some of mine that way. Dunlop Sharp Jazz III Jazz III XL Best of all V-Pick SWITCHBLADE (heck, any sharp V-pick will do ya!) QUOTE (Alex Feather @ Apr 23 2012, 11:38 AM) Man!

I really like the tone, and it sounds nice on my acoustic too. Plus I also recently switched from a medium pick to a thick pick so I may also be biased because of the plain fact that it's thicker!

When they get dull, I sharpen them - they're so good I need them to last as long as possible! I hear ya The carpet does seem a tad unusual but it sounds like lots of folks do it that with good results so whatever works I use a carving knife to sharpen picks and it creates a very edge. But it does involve using a sharp knife and you could accidently cut your fingers while trying to do it which would be really counterproductive. So stay safe, keep it on the carpet! QUOTE (Cosmin Lupu @ Apr 24 2012, 02:37 AM) Are these V picks really that awesome? The short answer is YES But they aren't for everyone, some folks really don't like em. Some folks like different shapes than I use as well. I couldn't stand the triangle shape, but Christian (from here) loves em! They are worth a shot if you can try them You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
