Understandable.

IIRC peeps who go that way tend to use .7mm picks or thereabouts, not 1mm or more.

ya know, I have been helping out a friend with his rig, switching and whatnot, but he happens to have just about every pick I've seen at GC. I couldn't believe the stash this guy has. To the point, I got to try all kinds of different sizes and materials, and it was kind of shocking to hear the difference it actually makes with materials and shape. I would have cried foul if I hadn't had the opportunity to try a zillion.

Indeed it does, but some manage to avoid it altogether.

IIRC Paul Gilbert trained himself to attack the strings at a perfect right angle 'cause he hates it when the attack is "smudged".

In theory, minimal smudging should be the ideal for better articulation, methinks.

EDIT:
Could have been Marty Friedman. I"m pretty-sure it was one of those guys.

If no angle, you need to use the very tip of the pick. I wonder how good that works for metal rhythms.

PG by the looks of it angles pick quite noticeable. Marty with his weird right hand position is probably the one you talking about.

Are there even people who don’t angle pick? It naturally angles more or less.

Audio doesn’t play on my phone, so I can’t know what harmonic sound are you guys talking about. Is it like pick scratching the winding or what?

It sounds like if you were to place your finger on the string right above the fret wire on fret 5 or 7 or 12 or whatever, natural harmonic.

I am trying to figure out how pick angling can make that sound whilе down picking with palm muting 🤔

I tried adjusting my picking to that at one point, but I could only do it with flimsy picks, and my tone suffered. I wish I could do it, but angled is the only way I get over the strings without sounding like :poop:

Yeah, i cut through the strings like a knife. The flat pick can work with a flimsy little shit, but most of my picks are rigid and sharp as fuck.

I have a pick that makes a shitload of harmonics when angling, especially on my clean work

Mother fucker is about 9mm though

You fuckers are so picky lol

How is that picky at all?

That would be completely unplayable for me, why I said something about it.

I couldn't imagine every single palm mute sounding like pigeons chirping

Brother, this pick is girthier than most guitar blogers’ dicks! 😂

I guess in such extreme case angling turns this into a full fledged bow 🤔

I play 0,.88mm Tortex Standart and TIII, so can’t relate to anything too thick

@Bram576 can you post your audio somewhere else so I can listen to it?

Also what picks are you using?

This entire conversation got started because of how ...................picky................... he was.

Ha ha ha I'm hilarious.

I realised after my shift last night that it could only have been one of these three dudes based on interviews I've seen lately:

Marty
Paul
Kiko

So who knows, it may have even been Kiko. :dunno:

Pauls is angled for sure, I rechecked. Maybe it was fot something particular? Some run, or song, or technique?
 
Na, whoever it was said that he ended up hating the scraping so much he modified his technique.

Fair observation 'though. :thumbsup:
