Hi,
I realize that this is a topic that may have been beaten to death, but....
I've been trying out different picks looking for one that gives me the best combination of sound and control. I've tried a range of guitar picks (fender heavy and the sort), the pickboy mandolin picks and more recently the JazzMando V pick. Many of the guitar picks sound absolutely horrible (very "clicky"), and the smaller picks can at times be tough to hang on to.
I think I like the V pick so far, but found that it requires a slightly different technique. The fatter pick & rounded edge seemed to be quieter at first & I'm finding that I have to adjust my picking technique a bit to get better volume and a bit more high end. I like the fact that it seems to put more emphasis on the fundamentals, but need to be aware of the attack angle to get more high end. Also, it seems like the tremolo approach needs to be a bit more definitive. My sense is that, with some practice, I'll be much happier with the V pick than others as the sound seems to be far more clear.
I've gone from learning fiddle tunes to working on more classical pieces, which may also have some bearing.
Has anyone out there had similar experience or advice?
