Guest Philip Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 I'm also partial to the yellow ones as of late! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tav Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 .88mm Green Tortex are where it's at, anything thinner than yellow isn't playable for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest operator zero Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 i think i'm the only person that ever uses/used the green "dava control pick" they were sooooo good and no-one bought them apart from me so they've stopped production Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leckie Gilman Posted January 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 dunno anything above the 0.6mm is too heavy and below is too light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Found Power Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 I use the green .88s occasionally, usually the 1mm Blues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex. Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 Originally posted by New Found Power:usually the 1mm Blues. jesus, you must break strings like a mo'fo...unless you've got really good technique in which case i salute you, sir.

Rob Karloff Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 I use Jim Dunlop black 1mm picks, with the embossed writing on them. Due to an accident many years ago involving part of my right hand, I cannot keep a grip on smooth picks. Occasionally I also use a hint of superglue onto my forefinger to keep them in place if I'm having a bad time of it. I don't break strings any more or less than the next man, and I use plain old Rotosound 10-52 guage. It's all in the technique, I think, and I also find you can do more with a heavier pick. Accuracy is better, pick harmonics and scrapes are easier, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skuzzlebutt Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 2mm eros....haven't seem them for sale in years...."and is there a purpose in one of the sides being like serrated?" cheap way to make a 6 string sound like a 12....supposedly....

Adam Easy Wishes Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 Nothing but .88mm greens for me, either. Preferably of the Jim Dunlop Tortex variety; but Rotosounds from Captain Tom's have been known to do the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
