Yes. I can't tell the difference.

all but a few, and the grey ones are still the .6 tortex just their custom made with DMB on them.
Oh, I thought he wasn't, that he just played bare handedly, like I do...i find picks somewhat uncomfortable like some one said up there. So in which songs does he NOT use a pick??

Any tips on how to turn from hand to pick, i mean, is it better for the sound??

Thanks!

Where Are You Going. You can interchange between picking and the pick.

Everyday. I think.

He def. uses a pick on granny ... uses a pick on 95 percent of his songs in concert, even WAYG. Doesn't use one on Dreamgirl though.

Fedelm, how do you not use a pic? Some of his songs it seems like it would be impossible to not use a pic and have the song sound decent ... tripping billies for instance, or WWYS

First of all, I can't play tripping billies (just yet).

The thing is, I get all mixed up with te pick, and seem unable to strum correctly. I know it's not the same, but I let my nails grow (specially the thum and index ones) and i use that for a pick; if my nails aren't long enough it's definately a hard bussines to play dave stuff.

I can't play warehouse with a pick (for instance), seriously, I just can't upstrum with it...I lose a lot of sensitivity with one.

And I always thought (until this post) that dave didn't use one as well, being the strum-man he is.
