That was fun. 🙂

Thought I would share this.  It’s about picks.  And while David Benedict is a mandolin player, you get the idea.

My dear friend Digdog….. I’ve come to the realization that the only way I can “Get Your Heads Right’ is to play your game ……I will express my free opinion and Damn the torpedoes ….but ALL the while tell Y’all how much I love and respect Y’all……..and by the way “Y’all is Not a derogatory term….. Neither is …”Well. Bless Your Heart”.

Look forward to a Special Notice concerning a “75th Trip Around The Sun” Gift to yours truly .

Items of response:

– I happen to know that when you add “little” or “li’l ol'” to “well bless your heart” it becomes derogatory.  (don’t ask.)

– Damn the Torpedoes is my favorite Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers album. (“don’t ha-ave to live like ref u gee e e e e!)

– with regard to picks/plectra/les mediators, I’m using the Dunlop PrimeTones on single emandos with single string courses (5 stringers) and Wegens on everything else, including guitars.

– And Benedict shoulda done his homework.  There is indeed a notable difference in feel and tone between the white and black Wegens.  I don’t know if they are different materials, but if they aren’t, then the dye/colorant Wegen uses has an effect.  The black ones are softer, click less, and wear faster.

that is all.

Hi, I’ve made videos about my choices of picks, here’s my story. https://youtu.be/274JMNR9xtA

I only uses the large triangles and recommend them to my students/clients. They are referred to as type “346”.

In short, every flat top I have has its own 1. Bluechip TAD pick TAD40 (light)  for 000 and smaller, and TAD50 (medium) for dreads, jumbo, etc.

Also every guitar also has a Wegen (pronounced “Vayg’n”) TF120 or TF140.

Also on my mandolin I use Blue Chip Tad50 (3xr -rounded tips)

I can’t remember how I got my fist Blue Chip, I either bought it used or someone on a forum just sent it to me, but as it was a TAD (346) -it sent me off in a whole new direction.

p.s. the only guitars that I DON’t use Blue Chips on are my 12 strings – for thse I prefer the Wegen RF140s.

p.p.s – on my sole Santa Cruz (RS) I prefer my TAD 60 !!!
