I don NOT play country rap (and I am pretty certain you're not going to want to see me in my nudie suit)
Behold, here is the pick I have used for the last 18 years (except when I am on an elevated stage with gaps between the slats). I had a jeweler make this for me, in the likeness of a Dunlop Jazz II (notice Jazz, Miles) sitting next to it. I used to lose picks left and right, until I paid $140 for one....

Re: Metal triangle picks
haha! Mine only cost a half dollar.

One thing I noticed about silver is that the strings eat it instead of the other way 'round. Perfect! It has less of a note than the stainless did. Lil softer, obviously.. probably maybe kind of.

Re: Metal triangle picks
Yes, same with gold. When I first got the pick, the sound was brittle and shrill. The edges were square, but I didn't realize this until later. Not sure why I stayed with it (maybe the cost) but I kept playing it. Eventually, the square edges gave way to a nice rounded contour (which can be seen in the picture), and the sound mellowed out substantially. I told a friend about this once, and he proclaimed that from now on, he was going to follow me on-stage with a whisk broom and dust pan.

Re: Metal triangle picks
Back in the late 60s I spent all my spring breaks from HS down in Guaymas. Wish I had a couple of bags of the old silver pesos from back then. Exchange rate: 1 peso = $.08. Oddly enough, just the price of admission to get into the gimnacio and play some hoops. Ah, good memories.
It's a guitar amplifier. How hard can it be?

Now you just need a playing partner with a similar pick and you can market your act as "The Gold Dust Twins."JazzGuitarGimp wrote:Yes, same with gold.

And if said partner were female, when she plays solo gigs, she would be known as Gold Dust Woman...Leo_Gnardo wrote:Now you just need a playing partner with a similar pick and you can market your act as "The Gold Dust Twins."JazzGuitarGimp wrote:Yes, same with gold.
