The first time I see this, very interesting, but I read comments that it's actually picks for the exercise and not for live playing. I would like to get a piece of that

I've heard of these I think.. are they the picks that cause you to stop if you use incorrect technique ?

Todd Simpson mentioned them in a different thread, the link is located below, and so I wondered if anyone here on GMC has actually tried using them. I am ordering mine today, I believe. https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...c=41634&hl= -------------------- All the elders have fallen down...

That's very interesting, it forces you to play with only the tip of the pick. Should create very even tonal character, but not sure if it's very flexible (for all types of playing, strumming, sweeping etc..)

I don't have an insane amount of speed yet, but I am back up to sixteenths at 110 BPM. I started at 56 BPM on Sunday morning. It has helped me to keep my Picking ridiculously economical, but that wasn't because of the pick design. That was actually because of the instructions. Read instruction #6 VERY CAREFULLY. It literally tells you the entire secret of the program. I know it sounds strange, but try this(Some of you may have discovered this, but I did not). Put the very tip of your pick on any string as if you are going to downstroke; and just lightly hold the pick on the string. Then fret normally with your left hand. You will actually notice that your right hand does absolutely no work in moving the pick, but it transfers that responsibility to your left hand. When I discovered this, I nearly shat myself as it destroyed everything I knew about the concept of Alternate Picking. After that, just try and keep your pick on the tip of the string. It literally becomes a game that your hands play with each other. The only other thing I can say is that until you get the economy of motion issue fixed do not play open strings, and do not attempt double or tremolo picking. It will ruin all the practice you put into it. http://styluspick.com/instructions.pdf -------------------- All the elders have fallen down...
