I rotate the von picks around now and then as each has a different tone Todd QUOTE (Cosmin Lupu @ Jul 10 2014, 02:59 AM) Second row, second on the right The only difference is that mine is black! But the tone and the feeling are unmatched by any pick I have used so far! 21 gun salute to VonHotch! Pointy and Thick!! Hard to go wrong there Fine aspects for killer picking IMHO! QUOTE (SpaseMoonkey @ Jul 10 2014, 03:56 AM) Started playing with those generic picks that are found on the ground at guitar center. Moved into the popular Jazz IIIs. My current ones are a long the preaching of Todd, using a sharp pick. Instead of rubbing it on the carpet I just bought Tortex Sharps I use to use the purple ones you have listed, but they tend to blend a bit in with my brown carpet so I moved up into the white ones which are also a 1.5mm thickness. Great to see my perpetual banging on about the importance of the RIGHT PICK is working!! Folks are finding the picks that work for them which is a WONDERFUL thing. The Dunlop Sharps are very handy and serve as a "Gateway Drug" to "boutiqe" handmade picks QUOTE (bleez @ Jul 10 2014, 06:01 AM) Im another convert to the preachings of todd I got some of the white dunlop sharp 1.5's. Initially I was using them just for alt picking exercises but I really took to them and use them all the time now. I also have the JP jazz iii and one of Von's Octavious, which is really comfortable to use but I do tend to go for the dunlop sharps now.

To me it just seems to interfere with the sound. I really love the size and the polished tip was a great idea. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Usually the chirp is more due to the angle of the pick strike itself. Adjusting the angle of attack of the pick as it addresses the strings can minimize this to a great extent QUOTE (Mith @ Jul 10 2014, 12:31 PM) Those JPs are nice, the only thing that puts me off is on high gain and on a bridge pickup I get a fair bit of chirp.

I was talking to Von a few months ago and it would've been outworldly if he could imprint the Days of Confusion logo on the picks - I think those would've been EXCELLENT merch items. I already gave away an Invader at a Domination gig to a dude that wanted a pick and he was totally blown away - Is this made out of metal????? Yes it is and it totally rocks! He wrote a PM on Facebook telling me it was the nicest pick he ever put his hands on Aside acoustic playing, where I use a very light pick (0.6) I am only using the Von Hotch picks You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
