Pick Gitar

Lets talk pick. Before I begin, let me just say that I am not really

recommending any pick. Your right guitar pick is highly dependant onhow you play, so its a personal choice. This is simply my personalexperience.

Sejak memula main gitar lagi, I guess Ive always been in search for theultimate guitar pick. Memacam rupa and brand pick aku penah try.

Dulu mase skola siap try pick besi lagi, konon ganas la. Well, Id saydont try metal picks, especially kalo main electric guitar. Its so dirty.The pick dust would accumulate on your pickup magnets. I dont know

why you would want to ruin your guitar like that. Well, maybe thesedays there are better metallic picks yang tak mudah terhakis bile main,but Im still gonna be skeptical.

And since zaman sekola, aku prefer Dunlop Gator Grip 2.0mm.Bertaun-taun aku pakai pick tu. I liked it because its very stiff. Stiffpicks are generally good for speed, since it maintains its shape while

youre picking. Lagi satu aku suke Gator Grip ni sebab dia tak licin.Actually before that aku pakaiDunlop Delrindulu, but licin so aku tuka.Same shape, different material.

Aku pakai pick tu until aku start main gitar balik a couple of years ago.As much as I liked that Gator Grip, aku rasa cam tebal sangat. Its notcomfortable, not because of the stiffness, but the thickness itself. So akupon beli la 3 peket lagi, 1.5mm, 1.14mm, 0.96mm. After playing with allof them, I decided that I liked 1.5mm better. Its stiff enough, but not toothick. Just right.

Lagi satu aku suke Gator Grip 1.5mm ni sebab somehow aku rasasenang sket nak buat pinch harmonics. Sometimes for expressivereasons I like to use a lot of harmonics, not necessarily full pinch

harmonics, just semi harmonics.

But theres one problem with that pick, its so tumpul, so its not preciseenough. So aku pon try la Tortex Pitch Black, and Big Stubby tu. I likethem, because theyre sharp, better for fast picking. But the problem

with Tortex Pitch Black is that aku rasa cam grip dia tak best. But Ireally like Big Stubby tu. It has better grip, and the material makes itfeel like its faster,due to lack of friction at the edge of the pick. I couldreally tell the difference in speed and precision ngan Big Stubby tu.

But theres a problem with that one. Cuba tengokgamba ni.Big Stubbyni is not really flat, it has a dimple. The dimple is too high for my taste.

The dimple tends to make my fingers grip the pick at that spot.Masalahnya, you should hold your pick as close as possible to the

bottom. Its more precise that way, and its easier to get good pinchharmonics. Dalam video Srikandi Cintaku tu, actually solo part tengahtu aku pakai Big Stubby, since aku prefer pakai pick ni for fast picking.But solo part ending tu actually aku pakai Gator Grip 1.5mm, since itsmore reliable to get the pinch harmonics.

And then tak puas hati, aku gi cari pick lagi. Aku try Tortex Sharp plak,since pick ni takde dimple. Bad idea, its way too sharp, itsuncomfortable to me.

Cari lagi, aku jumpe Jazz III plak. I like it a lot. It has what I need.Pretty much the same shape as Tortex Pitch Black, but with better grip.So this is right now my primary pick. Sharp but not too sharp, stiff, good

grip, flat, just how I like it. Video Another You part electric guitar tu firstvideo yang aku pakai Jazz III. It helps keeping it clean and fast.

Gamba kat bawah ni pick yang aku ade skrg, not everything Ive evertried. That would be way too many.

Bile main acoustic guitar plak, aku try gak pakai thumb pick. Dua jenisaku beli. It didnt take too long for me to be comfortable with it. But I

dont think I like the sound too much. It makes the bass too bright.Taylor guitar aku sounds bright enough as it is. Although dalam video

Another You tu aku pakai gak for the 2nd guitar part. I didnt use it forthe bass though, just for the fast phrase. But for the songs yang aku sukamain, generally I wont use thumb pick. Nak tengok good example ofthumb pick usage, seeManeli Jamal.That guy is freaking amazing!!

And lagi satu aku pakai Dunlop Nylon Standard 0.46mm for acousticguitar, mostly for strumming chords. Its really soft, I like to use a softpick to strum chords. To me it makes the sound of each string blendtogether much better. Pick keras makes it, again, a little too bright.

Im pretty happy with the Jazz III (I bought cap Eric Johnson sebabcolor dia merah, since aku dah banyak pick hitam. The regular blackJazz III should perform the same way). But in the future maybe akuakan try Jazz III XL plak. XL ni yang size besar punya.

Well, kat Amerika Syarikat ni pick murah, so biasanya dia jual sepeket10 or something like that, which is a good thing if you already know

what you want. But not so much if you want to try many different picks.Seinggat aku kat Malaysia boleh beli pick satu-satu. So take advantageof that. Try as many as you can and to find the best one for your taste.

And aku still pakai pick-pick lain yang aku ade when I want the subtletone quality that the pick offers. In fact for my next video, aku probablytakkan pakai Jazz III. The solo is not fast, so not too demanding when itcomes to precision. Ill have the freedom to choose what I want to usefor the tone and dynamic control.
