thongrider Posted March 6, 2021 Posted March 6, 2021 Been busy all week so I'm spending the weekend recording. Quote
Speedo Posted April 27, 2021 Author Posted April 27, 2021 I've been thinking of switching up my picks lately, maybe going for something thicker, maybe a .88 or even a 1.0. Quote

I can't use anything thinner than 1.0 for electric, genuinely can't imagine it tbh, .88 is passable for acoustic. Quote

I use .60 for electric and acoustic, I'm pretty heavy handed and always worried about breaking strings with heavier picks. Quote

thongrider Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 Picks are usually either too thin or too thick Quote
Speedo Posted May 15, 2021 Author Posted May 15, 2021 I'm late to the sea shanty game, discovered them last night and been learning them on guitar. Quote
twentytwenty Posted May 15, 2021 Posted May 15, 2021 I use .71 for everything; bass, electric and/or acoustic guitar etc Quote
Kay Posted October 26, 2021 Posted October 26, 2021 First time in a while I've written something quickly, roughly recorded it for reference, and then listened to it on repeat because I genuinely like it a lot. Like the recording is pants and I've given myself chord notes in the beginning but, idk, is it just me lol ? 1 Quote
Speedo Posted January 25, 2022 Author Posted January 25, 2022 Is there anyone here on this board willing to take up a “producer” role? I’m finally getting around to putting out a new album using the old demos we never got the chance to arrange and develop properly to make album worthy versions. Unfortunately, I’m a bit rusty and it would really help to bounce ideas back and forth and have someone involved with the arrangement area. It’s a lot to ask but any takers? Quote
Speedo Posted February 22, 2022 Author Posted February 22, 2022 I’m running on 3 hours of sleep and it’s killing my patience. A while back I wrote an intro for a song on guitar that’s meant to be on bass. It works well on guitar but bass is too low and it just gets muddy. I need to figure out another way to play the damn thing. Quote

I wanted it to be a bass intro … I mean, you’re right, obviously but I just had something different in my head that didn’t pan out. I did end up recording it on guitar though. 1 Quote

Speedo Posted May 12, 2022 Author Posted May 12, 2022 When I was 12 or 13 I took guitar lessons for a bit, the instructor gave me a bag of .60 picks. Eventually I dropped the classes and when I took guitar back up again at 16 I still had the bag of picks with my old guitar gear. I learned guitar on them and have been using them ever since. The fact that Tom and a plethora of other artist use them is just a happy coincidence. Quote

Faplord Posted May 12, 2022 Posted May 12, 2022 You know I just be out here trolling. I have a whole assortment of picks but I mostly use the 0.60. Although I’ve been loving these gel picks more and more. They seem to be easier to play with and the pick scrapes sound bad ass with them Quote
