What is it with all you blokes from Cambridge and ramming things in to each other’s orifices, is it something to do with the amount of all boys schools down there? It’s a bit too homoerotic for my liking. So I’ll have to decline your offer Reece.

Naw, not reliced - they have this kind of dust all over the pick that makes them easier to grab. Think billiards chalk or LeBron James.

that stuff lasts like half an hour for me, still easy to grip though.

Definitely my two Pokémon picks. (I like Omanyte more than Zapdos).

I also have a set of holographic Winny the Pooh picks I got from 7-11 but they sound terrible so I didn't go back and get the High School Musical ones.

The Pokémon ones are actually pretty nice. I don't use them though because it scratches off the paint. :(

Sadly the only kind of picks they sell within a 60 mile radius of town.

I dig light gauges. Strange but for some reason everyone ive met always digs heavy gauges. Why dont the light picks get much love?

i don't feel in control with a light pick, plus tremolo picking is much more difficult for me with them.

i don't like my picks bending at all.

.73 is for the really strummy stuff on Fenders. The 1.0s work better on Danos for some reason.
