just strum
December 20th, 2008, 03:07 PM
Just a quick blurp about these V picks. I received some today and I am going to give my first impression:
I used my Stubby's to do the comparison (1.0m to 3.0mm). Since Stubby's are my favorites, I figured that should be the bar for my personal comparison.
Pro:
The thick ones play a lot easier than what one would expect and to my surprise they do offer a different tone when compared to my Stubby's. The thicker V picks offered a deeper tone. I used the one with the pointier corners and the one with the more rounded corners. I also think that it provides more versatility when it comes to angle of attack. These comments are based on picking notes and little strumming. I will use them for awhile before giving overall comments.
I also received the V-pick Ultra Lite and Lite. Here I noticed little difference and that's not a bad thing considering how much I like my Stubby's.
All are comfortable and as advertised seem to allow you a looser grip (not sure why).
Cons
I'm not sold on value yet, so I am leaving that door open until I have used them a couple of days.
One definite con - Vinni, buy some colored pellet material. These may offer a nice grip, but they do fall and us blind people have a hell of a time finding them when they are more than 3' from our eyes.
Now the crow, you probably thought I was going to admit to having to eat some, well think again.
I was referring to Crowes
