... 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
Furtheron,
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to come and say hello. While I see you all about the internet I have taken no time to get to know you. I was wondering why? My conclusion: I listen to very little music (I know, I know.... crazy) I just wanted you to know that I have read through your blog a bit and have enjoyed learning of you. I have read your comments on others' blogs as well and appreciate your no-nonsense approach to recovery. Refreshing and affirming. Lisa
