question sa picking... since im trying to change it now...

slicing versus normal way of picking.... it affects the sound, correct? slicing (angled picking) is faster pero the sound you get is minimal compared sa regular picking...

Ang slicing, ginagamit yan bago magluto... sa karne, sa isda, sa gulay.

Walanjong sagot yan.

Sige na nga, seryosong sagot. Yes, angling the pick for a slicing attack does result in marginally reduced volume. That's simple physics. Less contact area = less impact = less volume. One can, however, compensate for this with an increased focus of power. Power gets focused into a smaller area. Besides, the volume less is really marginal at worst.

for me mas noticeable ang volume drop pag naka clean ka tapos nag "slice" ka sa e, b, and g strings, yung mga unwounded.

pag high gain, halos hindi na halata yun, ang maririnig mo na difference ay yung slicing sound, lalo na sa wounded strings, "chak chak chak chak" LOL

IMO lang naman correct me if im wrong. i angle the pick sometimes, sometimes hindi, depends sa sound that i wanna achieve.

i watched some videos sa youtube... and angled picking lahat gamit ng mga fast players... very important din ang position ng guitar, wrist, arms, lahat dapat coordinated...

mahirap sa una but once you master the technique, magugulat ka na lang how efficient it is... nasanay na kase ako sa normal picking, kaya wala na improvement sa speed... sablay pa...  :lol:

ganito, you might wanna try it, use the sides of your pick, yung mas round, tamo mas mabilis, "chak chak chak chak chak chak chak chak chak chak chak chak "

hehe parang angled din ang effect, pero mas mahina, and mas hindi defined ang notes..

pero seriously, start slow, and take note, iba rin ang paghawak ng pick.. it may be a little awkward at first, pero youll pull it off parin...

Jim Dunlop Jazz III

this one, it has good connection between the pick and the string.. I like those sharp pointed edge, can get the real highs of my tone

Definitely Jazz III's

..and the Fender (heavy) picks I got from llewor123.

I wanna try them V-picks but isn't it too expensive for a piece of plastic? (it IS plastic right?)

haha i liked the yellow ones too pero nung napansin ko na kaya ko gawin ang mga licks ko sa .60 yun na ginagamit ko forever. i come from the Paul Gilbert school of picking kasi. try mo rin yung orange kung matripan mo.  :wink:

ewan ko kung bakit, pero mas trip ko mag pick ng mabilis sa maninipis na pick. ramdam mo yung strings eh.  :mrgreen:
