Wow, that must've been a pretty big surprise. I've never experienced that myself.
I really hate it when a string snaps though...that's the worst feeling ever. It's like shock to anger to depression all within a few seconds.

I used to have that happen when I used Fender picks... try Dunlop Tortex picks though. I've been using them for about 4 years now and have never had one break.

Yeah, get those grey nylon guys with the grips, either snarling dog brain picks, or dunlop. I personally like snarling dog, look them up on ebay. Better grip.

I once saw a movie where this bus had to keep its SPEED above 50 and if its SPEED dropped, it would explode...I think it was called, the bus that couldn't slow down. |

Are the Brain picks youre talking about the ones with the sandpaper like texture, so they stay in your hand better? Those are sweet.

Always been a fan of goin' pickless myself. i.e. mark knoffler, andrew winn. Although there are some interesting textures that can be generated w/ a pick...especially on the electric. But then again...I try to play bass, so I try and go pickless anyway. Not that there aren't kick ass pick bass players...i.e. Paul Hinklin. Well...w/ that said.

When i fingerpick ( KJP, TR, Gordon Lightfoot, Kottke) and then go to strumming with a pick ( DMB, Gordon Lightfoot, Dylan, etc...) it just isn't that much fun anymore. It's not challenging jsut to strum. Flatpicking ( as opposed to strumming) is difficult. Shit, just look at Doc Watson! One great flatpicker is Terry Clements, Gordon Lightfoot's lead guitarist. He can play songs with added basslines, very intricate riffs, plus tremolo strumming all with a Martin .73 (My prefrence) flatpick.

Those picks that Silky uses are good .... ummm I use Clayton .63mm with my D-35 and I have tried all of the brands and Clayton is a really good brand . The only two picks I would buy is Dunlop and Clayton ! Cheers !
