MacDaddy Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 So if I'm recording a Niles Rodgers type funky guitar part, I'll use a thinner bendy pick, but if I'm recording a shred solo, I use a solid pointy fat pick. The question is, what to do live when I have to play both? Is this why people have picks on the mic stand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 One of those control pick type things, thin at one end, thicker at the other. Or just DIY one with a nail file or similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd want to try before I bought, especially at those prices, but in the current climate that may be frowned upon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacDaddy Posted June 6, 2021 Author Share Posted June 6, 2021 I ended up buying these. The thickness is the same for all, 0.6 and 1.2, but the material for each is different with different levels of 'flex'. The green is the stiffest, followed by red then black. Ideally I'd want the green pick but with the black softer pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezbass Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Pac Man ghosts have retrained as guitar picks following redundancy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
