Hi all,

I’ve been working on this song using a .38 sized pick but am finding the picking parts difficult due the the thinness of the pick. What sized pick would be best to move up to for a beginner? I’ve tried a .60 but it feels very awkward and sounds harsh on the strings. Thanks in advance

Hi Samuel. Try a .46 Dunlop nylon, that’s the next step up. I’d advise you to get a mixed pack and see what suits. The thinner ones are good for ‘strummy’ songs, thicker ones are good for picking individual notes. It’s all a matter of finding a balance.

Really fabulous dynamics and shows what tight, nailed rhythm is all about. Super well done! Certainly one of my favorite performances by J. It also shows how powerful a simple song can be. Need the rhythm of the strum part to ride perfectly though! Time to follow through on the commitment to use the metronome!
