That's just his way of saying he's got an eye out for something.

Careful, Scotty. You'll pull brain matter out that way.

That's not really a concern for scotty.

Wrong end, Jim. But thanks for the sentiment...

Fender Medium , tortoise or California Clears. MOTO's wear out fastest for me.

Solid silver .60mm.

I got one of those for Christmas a couple of years ago. Mine's the version with a chain for hanging round your neck though.

Nylon Gold Herco Flex 50,i use them with all my guitars.

I too will use whatever I can get for free from a guitar salesman, but I REALLY like these a lot now and am trying to stick strictly to them:



Especially for 12-string. Mmm mmm mmm. The pointy tip is great.

I was going to get a big bag of them with my name on them, but then realized that the printing wears off easily. So I might or might not now.

Funny, I always break the Clears really quickly - MOTOs are my favorite!

The chain is not for hanging round your neck! Use your imagination!

I use these too for six string (actually 0.60mm, but what's 0.1mm between friends?), the reds (0.50mm) for 12 string and purples (1 mm?) for bass. Nice and grippy, cool sound and long lasting.

I bough some Mosrite parts last year and the seller threw in a big bag of the orange tortex picks. Some people may find this pathetic, but it made my day!

I use the red (.5mm) Star Picks. I use the side of the pick (not the point) so the hole lets me grip without slippage.

Dang, that would have made my day too!!

I use the orange dunlops exclusively, and still seem to buy a small bag every year....they just keep going and going. Turning up in my laundry and under the sofa etc etc...

Here in the UK, last months guitarist magazine came with 5 nice and brightly coloured free picks.

"Great" I thought, I'll use them at rehearsal and if the other guys steal them it's no great shakes.

I picked myself a lovely bright yellow one and started to play my Jetglo 360/12. Half way through the second song I had to stop playing. The pick was now just a quarter of it's original size and my lovely jetglo guitar now had a coating of yellow dust! Grrr!

The moral to the story is....'pick wisely and certainly don't pick cheaply!'
