Silver and diamond?? Well you wouldn't want to lose that one.

I wonder how it plays and sounds......

Do you reckon it's good for heavy metal and hard rock?

When we met in Binghamton, Tammy had this brand of pick : Brain . They have this grip which is magical, It never rotates between the fingers. She gave me one (thank you Tammy) and I have been using it since. I keep forgetting to buy some at the store but I will as soon as my pea size memory gets in gear at the store. This is by far the best pick brand I ever tried. This pick never goes in the pick receptacle, it does not even move between the fingers. Because of the grip you do not have to hold it tight so the wrist is more flexible (just like golf ;) ).

You should try it Michele

Hi Marc,,when i look to them i think i buy me some it looks like the pick.. BTW,,in Holland we prefer the word plectrum..
Hi Willem and Vanessa, it is always interesting why a word is not use in another language. Pick is probably not use in Dutch because it is similar to a gross or embarrassing word. Would be interesting to know what (without getting into details ;) .Plectrum is also use in English (and French) but I am pretty sure pick is use way more often because it has one syllable, but also because it is easier to relate to picking.

Well that's the thing, over here at TG we use the word quite often, so I indeed forget, but then I accidently mention it with a straight face to one of the children that I teach and then they look at me like.....whát did you say? And they start giggling and get shy, what can I say then?! :P
