I was thinking that too but then I realized that if you used a rock it might scratch the guitar if you're not careful

[@timothyhoneycutt3895]

+Bradford Stadsvold yes it really does. i have metal picks that i made from aluminum (which i know isnt rocks but a rock would likely become more abrasive as grains fall off and be even more destructive to the body) and i let my friend try out a new humbucker in my guitar with it and now i have scratches all over the body left of the neck. Absolutely terrible.

[@felinessuck2936]

Small hard picks are the best.

[@SomeGuy-sd1fv]

yep

[@MKRocker2012]

As are small hard dicks.

[@felinessuck2936]

[@gonzadiazsola]

Dunlop's jazz III are so fckng incredible

[@Chris-of1jt]

Gonzalo Diaz Sola agreed

11:56 “Maybe I should consider getting a gym membership” 😂

[@_modiX]

This simple E2-Amaj7 progression at 10:49 is just sugar in my ears.

[@tidiestflyer7570]

well I guess there is no losing that one

[@itsyash9140]

Tidiest Flyer lol

[@chipchipdipdip9550]

it’ll find a way to warp into a different dimension

[@ScarryChili]

At 13:26 I thought you were gonna play Pantera...

[@stellarfellar9960]

lmao same

[@angrymcplatipus123]

+ScarryChili he could, but it would be a vulgar display of power.

[@ShayanBux]

+grazyed1 YEEEEAAAAAHHHHHHHH

[@konev13thebeast]

+andrew welsh I would be one step from lashing out

[@night1247]

all those comments.....now that's a new level

[@playdead8734]

I want to see you play Misirlou with all of the pics.

[@almantpavlov7989]

"Sees the giant pick. Then looks at he's own super thin shark fin pick." - bro, what, are, you, using, that, lick for?!?!

[@SenkoLoaf]

What?

[@sylviathesnowleopard8520]

with the plectrum if you notice on the initial “plucks”(hits sounds better) its more mellow and calm compareded to the classic pick which sounds crisp [said by some aidio nerd that doesnt play guitar]

[@Nerdsammich]

Totally. It almost sounds like the bigger picks are padded. Like a piano had a baby guitar.

[@mhtjabermht]

I don't know why am i watching this, i don't even own guitar.

[@bicasualtea7563]

This is what the internet is for

[@angelorizzieri3696]

what the fuck

[@alexking5086]

This guy uses the same pick on several recordings where as I can't stop losing them, pretty much every other time I pick up my guitar I use a new one

[@mortarsquad12]

Big papa really brings out a lot of nuance in the string tone. This is worth investigating imo.

[@TorvickZeBerzerk]

how can you even play with this enormous purple thing? (no pun intented)

[@Idiopidity]

It's a beginners pick.....like those big ass pencils in first grade. LOL

[@TorvickZeBerzerk]

seems to work for him though :m

[@bogumib4030]

Love ur profile pic

[@TorvickZeBerzerk]

Bogi Będzi haha yes it's a very cool deftones art!

[@mikeyg8133]

I must get my hands on those healthy purple berries

[@duguy182]

The normal pick sounds the best, all the others are like "muffled" and "lifeless".

[@edwinbeta2806]

The purple plectrums don't have much attack. I bet the most pointed side of the DragonHeart is the best.

[@BandaDryWine]

+Edwin Beta DragonHeart sounded great for me xD

[@howard19]

+duguy182 the purple plectrum sounds muffled imo. The dragon heart produced a more clear cut sound

[@zachm705]

It's doom af and it's beautiful, watch it buddy

[@xwasssabix2347]

To me, the Dragon's Heart sounds best on electric guitar, and the plastic sounded better on acoustic and bass. the Purple Plectrums had a very muffled attack that I don't really care for, and the Dragon's Heart doesn't have much body on acoustic or bass. I personally use a hardened Dragon's Heart on electric guitar, and a 1mm Clayton on bass and acoustic.

[@seacadetalex]

I actually like the way the giant pick sounds. It’s the only one that actually changes the sound to an untrained ear

[@AceKylar]

big poppa spectrum clearly out classes all other pick in every single way

[@robscallon]

Here's way more info on the picks I use then anyone asked for...

[@garyvaldez8699]

It's an upright bass pick!!

[@Dr.Turkey]

Rob Scallon Loved all the names for the mega pick. Also the bass solo in the style of billy sheehan at the end ;)

[@shiningarmor2838]

How would the 25mm pick do on a string tuned to 21hz?

[@Dr.Turkey]

Shining Armor Thump

[@crystalbecker2713]

+Rob Scallon I really like that dragon heart. Thanks for turning me on to it. The sound really tickled my metal bone. That Ultra-mega-super pick/bludgeoning tool is pretty killer on the bass. I honestly think it shines the darkness on the almost slappy sound, if that makes sense to you.

[@gabrielribeiro3166]

14:36 now I understand how they made the SpongeBob ending song

[@sammyjones6730]

Clicked this video trying to find picks with softer attacks. Probably the same thing you were talking about with the 'washboard guy'. Loved the purple plectrum, and to my ears it did exactly what you said.

[@Flatfootsy]

Wow. I really liked the Dragon's Heart pick, I really want one!
