He uses v-picks but I don't know whether or not exclusive.

One can see it's huge.

He uses the giant $35 V-Pick, IIRC. May be the next size down from that one, actually, but it's one of the two biggest.

That's the pick to avoid, then.... [runs away quickly]

On the V-pick site Vinny tells what he gave Carlos,and there's a picture of them together.

You did say "huge pick" with a "P," right?

Why does he use such a big pick?

Easier to hold (especially if you have problems with your hand, not sure if he does), warmer tone, and not exactly easy to lose :lol:

Hi, Vinni here from V-Picks.

Carlos uses our Freakishly Large Rounded 3.0mm V-Pick about 1/2 the time. He also sells them on his website. The other 1/2 of the time he uses his big triangle dorritto chip pick that Dunlop makes for him. It is a real thin pick and he holds it with 3 fingers and his thumb. He kind of flips it back and forth. I ask him how he plays with a thin pick like that and he just smiles.

I hope this helps,

V
