Another pick story, making steel strings sound kinda like nylon
As mentioned in other threads, my new toy is a short-scale tenor guitar with a mandola body.
A bright pick makes a nice Taylor-esque guitar sound for rhythm accompaniment in a band.
A few days back I tried playing classical mando literature on it and the sound was too bright.
I found a BC TP-50 gives a beautiful classical guitar-like sound on the same instrument.
I had a 'doh' moment later when I realized I had approached the sound of nylon strings with just a pick change.
For some reason I find that kinda funny, and kinda cool.
