yes ... i am posting about pics ... how queer.

local shop was out of loose picks ... so i had to buy a packaged set of picks. guy at the counter was like what do you like? i say heavey claytons (the white acetal polymers) and he hands me these ibanez signature steve via picks - http://ibanez.com/accessories/spec.asp?m=111

so i'm like ... sure ... why not ... it's like $3 ... and under anyother circumstance i wouldn't bother.

i've never been impressed by picks before ... this pick has a similar feel to dunlop tortex but it kinda feels like stone, it's harder and has a pointy end ... i can't describe it but to say it's coolest pick i've ever used and feels like perfect. the tiny bit of edge on this picks rules too ... i dunno ... i guess i'm a geek but if you like heavy picks ... give these a try. best $3 i've spent on my music playing.

1 thing though ... i've had to excercise a bit of restraint in my picking style ... these are string rippers.
