If you're playing Yngwie Malmsteen style, you might want a thin pick LOL.
It is surprising how much variation in sound there can be.
It sure is, especially in considering so many variables (string gauge, electric vs acoustic, style of music, picking technique, model of the instrument) The list goes on. I try not to get too crazy with it, but it's tough if you start accumulating different guitars, amps, ect.
It's kind of a bummer to not see #openmic still happening, but I'm happy we still have musicians posting here and brewing up ideas for contests and what not.
I've been practicing more, and intend to get some uploads complete in the near future as well :)
I've got a new song I need to finish. Preparation for the gig was taking all my time recently.
