Since nobody has mentioned it, Paul Gilbert hasn't always used those super thin picks. He has used heavy ones for most of his career. The thin ones are relatively new.
I was thinking that's probably the case. Once you have that technique down, you could probably use a pen.Since nobody has mentioned it, Paul Gilbert hasn't always used those super thin picks. He has used heavy ones for most of his career. The thin ones are relatively new.
What??Paul Gilbert also plays quite forte with light gauges so using a lighter pick will improve intonation.
Forte (f) – loud. Fortissimo (ff) – very loud. Sforzando (sfz) – a sudden, forced loudWhat??
No, I know what forte means (played Clarinet in band.) Just can't fathom anyone picking hard enough to affect the pitch.Forte (f) – loud. Fortissimo (ff) – very loud. Sforzando (sfz) – a sudden, forced loud

Just bought my daughter a clarinet for school band next year....soooo not looking forward to listening to a child learn how to play a woodwind. JeezeNo, I know what forte means (played Clarinet in band.) Just can't fathom anyone picking hard enough to affect the pitch.

Happens all the time to metalheads and hard rock people when recording.No, I know what forte means (played Clarinet in band.) Just can't fathom anyone picking hard enough to affect the pitch.
He actually changed his technique along the way. I do think that the pick dictates the technique and vice versa.I was thinking that's probably the case. Once you have that technique down, you could probably use a pen.
No it won't. Gentle picking with the point of a thick pick is far less likely to bend a string out of tune.Paul Gilbert also plays quite forte with light gauges so using a lighter pick will improve intonation.
I strongly disagree, The tone is way better and you get used to it very quickly. I know there are some amazing players out there that use thin picks but that is very much the minority. It's like going over to a guitar with lighter strings on you adjust your technique. The important thing is use what works for you.If you talk about actual music, you are going to play chords and riff at least 90% of the time. It's easier to go out of tune when doing rhythm parts.
