Subject: RE: Help for Pickers - Give us a tip II
A few days ago (9 June) I mentioned the F-1 flatpick. Having tried it for a while, I can't say I like it for everything. It's very percussive, which has its place, but I won't use it much. However I may use it when I need alot of clack to my acoustic sound, like when I strum with a shaker egg in my hand. The Strum-Rose (Strummer?) is also good for this. The F-1 may be better for electric players who are having trouble with holding their picks and aren't so concerned with the acoustic sound of the pick attack.

Mooh.

P.S. Try the shaker egg idea, it works in moderation.
