Please tell me you've never really done that! :eek: Has anyone tried those glass Lexan picks or whatever they're called? I have one... silky smooth, very nice grip and they never wear out. The only reason I don't use it all the time is I just find it produces too much pick noise. Are their any secrets to not having pick noise? I'm happy with the sound I get from my yellow Dunlop Tortex... but I've seen videos of some guys playing where the pick noise is super prevalent. There was one of the Scorpian's guitarist playing the national anthem, and the pick noise was as loud as the notes he was playing. I was quite surprised. You don't seem to hear pick noise on albums much, unless its intentional.
