May 18, 2006 #9 F Fast Eddy The Fly Joined Jan 31, 2005 Messages 77 Location Maine, USA I've found that the dimples on the Herdim heavy teardrop picks (the blue ones) give the best texture to the sounds (deeper, rougher dimples I guess). You can get them here: http://www.prussiavalley.com/Pick-HER004-HerdimTeardropRoundedTip-nylon.htm Be sure to specify the blue teardrop style.
