... or should that be plectra I'm no good at that kind of English... to boldly go and all that. (If you are not a guitarist here is a health warning about this post, it may lead to you attempting to chew off a limb to retain conscious or keep your sanity...) My history of plectrum use is... Bloody huge triangular Gibson ones, heavy, I used to wear them out so they ended up pretty much circular in a matter of days/weeks. Odd at that time I had a Strat copy and used Gibson Strings and Gibson picks - I even went for Gibson strings with a wound third at one point after reading heavier strings gave a better tone... yes but you can't play the damn thing and could never get the intonation sorted out after an older mentor showed me what that nonsense was all about. For a long time there after I used Fender medium the hard once, often in tortoiseshell as I thought that classy for some bizarre reason. "Hello darling look at my tortoiseshell picks." I never had many girlfriends
I suspect I will be playing this shortly on the DP Show.
ReplyDeleteMarvellous stuff!!!!!
caught the end of an interview with Slash on the Culture Show. This album sounds very interesting... Has Velvet Revolver bitten the dust now? (their 2nd album was a shocker!)

I think officially "on hiatus" following Scott's public bust up with the rest of them and heading back to The Stone Temple Pilots reunion... hmm - stunning debut, luke warm second, bust up with the singer... sound familiar? ;-)
