funny thing is kind of like the authenticity of the picking noice you get from older LPs, like old BB King stuff. I especially think it adds a much needed touch to the blues.

I noticed with my noice that i was picking/plucking to hard. for me the 3 things that helped...help...

Thinner pick (wierd huh)

Turning UP the volume, tunes out the individual pick on string noise

and like everyone else, just picking differently.

i'm addicted to giving my two cents... so there you go.
