bigskygirl- do me a huge favor and let me/us know what you think about those D’Addario’s

I think they sound pretty good, I hear they feel pretty good, similar to TI’s in both of those categories...

Thanks everybody, and GMorgan. I ordered a set of medium TI’s, called Mittels, from Sweetwater. They were in stock, and that far away away, so surely I’ll have them by the weekend.

I didn’t play...

My Eastman is new, and gets me at both of those places. I’m hoping I get better used to it, and these issues go away…

Ya, that Lakota strap is awesome looking, and I can’t believe how good it feels. I also had a rosewood armrest on it from CA. The wood grain wasn’t matching very well, so I’m now waiting on an Ebony...

Oh no no no, I am so DONE buying picks. I would be embarrassed to admit how much money I have spent on picks the last few months. I am being serious...

I’m glad I got a Gravity Gold Tripp 1.5!...

I’m pretty excited, so I wanted to share this. Everybody has different ways they like to do things. I just wanted to share what is really working for me.

I’ve only been playing about 6 mos. I...

Here it is!

Sorry, apparently I am not too good with technology either...

You are killing me, Charley. Thank you Jaime.

Earlier in life, I was an outdoorsman. Really big into archery. Compound bows with all of the bells and whistles, high dollar stuff. I remember the...

Lol, love those clown barfs! To look at anyway. Banjo Ben has them in stock...

From Eastman, and I absolutely love it! It’s a huge upgrade for me, and it’s perfect. I know some of you all knew that I have been waiting for it, just wanted to update.

It’s beautiful to see,...

Looks pretty sweet to me...

John, I didn’t ask the question, but sure do appreciate the detailed response

I absolutely agree with that. Well I was kind a hoping to find out was why would one want to try a particular kind over another? Are there any benefits to any of them other than sound?
EX: silk...

Thank you for your service, MandoBart. I mean that sincerely...

Ya, I know sound is subjective. And that’s what I was wondering, what is Monel? Why does it exist? Does it feel different, or just last longer? Where does Elixir compare in these categories? And silk?

Torren61- thanks for starting a good thread. Good info.

What about a guy that doesn’t come from the guitar world? I am wondering what difference one might expect between:

Monels, Silk, Elixir,...

I’ll be the 2nd Sheila.....

Ya, I wasn’t too concerned either, but definitely curious.

Wow Sheila, I was going to come here tonight and ask the very same question.

I play nearly everyday. Tonight, I had 3 out of 8 strings sharp, and I had just played last night. Not that big of...

Ya Bernie2, it’s really hard to say. I have been on a quest for a little bit now trying to discover what I like/don’t like in picks. I have tried from 0.73mm to 3.0mm

Instrument type, strings,...

I came from the banjo world (yes, I closed the door behind me lol) specifically the Scruggs style.
In my experience, if you played the banjo, it was “expected” that you knew how to play Foggy...

Yes, I haven’t played with a BC, but the Primetone has been delivering me a tone and playability superior to many other picks that I have tried.... and the list is getting really long. But it’s been...

I have an Eastman 314 oval hole coming, and I know they come with medium strings.

I’m wondering if I might get along fine with light, since I only play at home. Curt Mangan monels are on my list...

Sorry mandroid, buying an Eastman 314 recently was like buying a car to me. So, I guess not all are as fortunate as you.....

Thank you Charles, very much!

Ok, I know I’m pretty new here. I’ve quickly made a couple of friends, not looking for any enemies. I do not know if what I am about to say is some kind of heresy or not, so please forgive me in...
