LOL. I'm sure Vinni will be glad to hear from you. :wink:

I'm surprised you guys are having issues with them slipping. They stick to my fingers.

very cool. Must admit i took the plunge not that long ago and tried ordering a few v-picks. What got me was even the medium ones seemed to be ridiculously thick, so there was no give at all. Probably ok for some types of lead, but i just couldnt use them.

Do they make more normal thicknesses? I might have just completely misunderstood the catalogue and ordered super thick ones perhaps.

Try a "Tradition Ultra Lite"

Thicker picks are really hard to get used to, but you can still control dynamics with them by how hard you hold the pick. With thinner picks you don't have to think so much about dynamics, but with thicker picks you constantly have to. But they make lead playing easier so if you're into that it might be worth trying. I'm still trying to get used to playing rhythm with them myself.
