Guitar Picks - Which Material And Thickness To Choose By mark321 Generally, guitar picks are isosceles triangle-shaped ones made up of different materials to play guitars. Guitar picks are made up of various materials including, plastic, nylon, rubber, tortoiseshell, bone, wood, felt, stone, polycarbonate, Lexan and metal. Although different manufacturers use different shapes, the most common shape is isosceles triangle with highly rounded two equal corners and less rounded third corner. You can also go for customized guitar picks of your taste.
Customized Guitar Picks Most of the guitar picks have a sort of imprint. This may range from imprinting manufacturers' logos to fully customized guitar picks for artists. In addition, guitar picks come with signatures and logos of popular bands and musicians. For example, Rick Nielson mass-distributed customized guitar picks of "Cheap Trick," a renowned rock band. Customized guitar picks evolved over time, as the printing technology evolved. Even many guitar enthusiasts started collecting various types of custom guitar picks, as guitar picks have become more colorful with attractive designs and look. You can get custom picks from concerts, since at times many guitarists throw their used guitar picks on the crowd. You may even notice some celebrity guitarists selling their guitar picks.
Guitar Picks Made of Bone Bone guitar picks in general and many in particular favor dinosaur bone guitar picks. These guitar picks made of bone come in natural colors and some of them are even transparent. Dinosaur bone guitar picks are hand-made and fully fossilized or agatized. Bone guitar picks are ideal for rock guitarists. However, these picks are relatively costlier than picks made up of other materials.
Types of Picks and Styles Guitarists use different types of picks of different thickness to generate their desired sound. The thickness of the guitar also depends on the kind of strings and

playing styles. Electric guitar players who play rock and metal prefer thicker picks to produce more controllable, delicate and great music. Guitar players who play farthest genres, such as, black metal, death metal or punk rock prefer soft guitar picks. Many Jazz guitar players prefer to use very thick guitar picks, since they like heavy gauge strings. However, there is no written rule on selecting a particular pick. It is purely based on personal choice. Steel guitar picks are believed to be producing much brighter sounds than that of plastic picks. However, steel picks may damage the finish of the acoustic guitars.
Finding the Thickness of the Guitar Picks Several of the manufacturers, including, Alicem Jim, Dunlop and Teckpick, imprint the thickness of their picks thousands or in mm on the pick itself. Popular guitar manufacturers like Fender, Gibson, Ibanez and Peavey sometimes used cryptic way of denoting the thickness of the picks.
Therefore, if you have the passion for guitar picks and want a celebrity signature, it is better to opt for customized guitar picks. You can claim you are a collector too.

i hope this trend wears off
fucking 4chan and their unseriousness & unwillingness to undo their unknown understandingsdiego21 @ 01/07/2009 09:00 PM : I can see the problem is most of us are making vocals, Im including myself, who knows, maybe Im the next Jeff Magnum.McC @ 01/07/2009 08:53 PM : So I'm taking this class... it's a blowoff but its called American Musical Soundscapes and is taught by this woman who apparently attended Harvard like 30 years ago. It must've been some pre title-IX women's liberation bullshit that she got in because she's not really capable of forming sentences.
Anyway I'm supposed to pick a song that describes me perfectly. I'm thinkin Put a Donk on it. Any ideas?JasonHernandez @ 01/07/2009 08:52 PM : I actually really like the word "nigger", the way it's used when black people use it. It's essentially a black variation on "dude". "Hey, dude!", a white guy might say. "Hey, nigger!", a black guy might say. I think it's funny.
I would never use the word myself (without literal or figurative quotes around it) in conversation. And I'm not bothered in the slightest by the fact that I (culturally) shouldn't use it (at least in this point in time--this could change in a few generations). I mean, so what? It's not a big deal. Language and culture can be complex sometimes.
As for why it's used in songs, I don't think it has anything to do with sales viability or reputation. I think it's just a reflection on how these people TALK. I live in a racially mixed inner city neighborhood. I hear black people say "nigger" all the time. Doesn't bother me.diego21 @ 01/07/2009 08:51 PM : Vh1 lists are not perfect, they don't even seek to be so. This lists are made in order for you to spend a boring weekend learning facts and now and then, some funny comment.
Plus, its not worthy, but its understandable for Welcome to the Jungle to be #1.
