Artifacts and Picknoise in fast runs (Economy Picking)

Have some thoughts on some of those licks you posted though.

I can’t wait to read 'em! Thanks man!

@kgk

Yah, that’s why I mentioned (above) that there are Flow picks made with nylon!

Got some ordered. Jazz 3’s are Nylon also, but a little bit too small. I’ve gotten used to the flows so I will stick with 'em. I think Nylon will help substantially! Thanks, dude!

For me, for the gain levels I play at

What gain level are you at? Like if you were on a distortion pedal and the gain was 0-100% where would you be at? Also, I think I have a “mixed pack” here somewhere… *Digging *Searching *Rummaging *Strikes pay dirt… Okay cool, I have one and it’s thinner, yep substantially less “chirp”.

Thanks, everyone!

Not especially high, lol. I play throguh a Mesa MArk V, and the preamp gain is usually around 1 oclock. Varies a little depending on pickups - not a great way to demonstrate otherwise, but here’s a clip from some in-progress stuff I’m working on with my Strat. I’d get a hair more saturation using something with humbuckers, I’d say, and this is a little on the cleaner end… but not much.

The recording sounds good. Did you mix and then sync audio, or is it live feed?

[Scottulus]

Awesome! That sounds really, really good! Good job, man - and thanks for sharing!
