    Default Diy roman style plectrum complete walkthrough

    Hey folks. These plectrums seem like they pop in and out of stock and some folks always refer to an older kinda low res video. I decided to make a bit more of a comprehensive how to for them. Please let me know what you think. Its a bit longer than I intended but I tried to be thorough.

    3 mm is quite substancial. To be held very loosely when tremoloing? I looked for a video where it's played but didn't find any.

    Personally I'd want a Roman pick to be a bit thinner.

    3mm is just the initial thickness before shaping. They end up about 1.8mm in the center and the tips are thinner still.

    I tried to get across they could be left as thick, or made as thin as you wanted. Sorry if that wasnt made clear. Heres an image next to a ct55 for thickness comparison. Feels pretty comfortable to me.
