If there is something I should aspire to it's these guys - what a brilliant band, I believe they have been touring non stop for 25 years.

Added Alto Sax and Trumpet my latest purchase. Could only manage a few notes on the Trumpet, hence only started learning it a week ago, you can hear it in the section towards the end where the drums drop out for two bars.
Made a few minor tweaks to the Mix.

I've been using Dunlop Delrin 0.96mm for years, last year I could not find any and purchased another style of Dunlop, not quite the same. I did a search today and came across a UK website simply called
www.guitarplectrums.co.uk  to my excitement discovered I can still get the Dunlop Delrins.
I've also ordered a plectrum made from Buffulo Horn in jet black, it looks interesting if anything else. They have also ones made of bone and wood would you believe
Man I did not realise the choices. It really does make a difference in not only how the guitar sounds, but how it feels whilst you are playing.

Plectrum Choices:

    Celluloid. Historically, this was the first plastic ever used to produce picks[citation needed], and it is still of some use today, especially for guitarists aiming for vintage tone.

    Nylon. A popular material, it has a smooth and slick surface, so most manufacturers add a high-friction coating to nylon picks to make them easier to grip. Nylon is flexible and can be produced in very thin sheets. Most thin and extra-thin picks are made out of nylon[citation needed]. However, nylon loses its flexibility after 1–2 months of extensive use, becomes fragile and breaks[citation needed].

    Acetal. Acetal is a highly durable class of plastics. Delrin is DuPont's trademarked name for a type of acetal. Delrin is hard, glossy and durable, and can also be doped to produce a matte texture. The friction between a steel or nickel guitar string, and smooth, glossy acetal is very low. Glossy delrin picks literally glide across the string and therefore have a fast release, producing very little pick noise, while delivering a rounded tone emphasizing the lower order harmonics[citation needed]. This is my preferred type, when you strum an acoustic guitar you don't get the sound from the pick, excellent for micing.

    Ultem. This plastic has the highest stiffness of all plastic picks[citation needed]. Produces a bright tone, popular among mandolin players.

    Lexan. Glossy, glass-like, very hard, but lacking durability[citation needed]. Used for thick and extra-thick picks (> 1 mm). Usually has a high-friction grip coating.

    Acrylic. Tough, light, seamless polymer with great resistance to impact and weathering. Does not yellow, brittle, or crack. Can be molded and cut to almost any shape and thickness

Metal- Picks made out of steel produce a much brighter sound than plastic. They do however wear the strings quickly[citation needed] and can easily damage the finish on the guitar if used for strumming, especially on acoustic guitars. Some metal picks are even made from coins, which give players a unique tone as the alloys used in various coinage from around the world will vary greatly.

Wood- Each guitar pick made of wood has its own unique properties and signature sound as a result of differences in density, hardness and cellular structure. Most wood picks will produce a warmer tone than plastics or metals. In order to withstand the rigors of picking and strumming only the hardest woods are used for picks, including hardwoods like African Blackwood, Bocote, Cocobolo, Lignum vitae, Rosewood, and Zebrawood.

Glass- Glass is relatively hard and heavy in comparison to metal or plastic and therefore produces a greater range of tone[citation needed] than these materials. Glass can be polished to a smooth or rough texture depending on the grit of sandpaper used. Likewise, factors such as size, shape, and weight have a much more dramatic affect on the overall tone making each individual glass pick sound and feel unique.

Other- Agate picks range in thickness from 1mm (very rare) up to 5mm, and are extremely inflexible. As they are harder than the metal guitar strings, they resonate the strings more completely[citation needed][original research?].

    New Tortis is an alternative to natural tortoise[citation needed], made of polymerized animal protein. It is hard, smooth, thick, and has only slight tip flexibility.

   Felt picks are mainly used with the ukulele.

This was great fun
Used my thumb instead of fingers for the BASS....I like the tone
Really pleased with the  Seymour Duncan Jazz neck pick I installed on my Epiphone Les Paul, I think it's better than my Arch Top, or just different but nice.
It's amazing I've been playing the Guitar for the best part of 36 years and found a new beautiful chord by accident. That's why I love playing instruments, you never stop learning, you can never become bored - well so long as you have the ability that is.

It's nice to be back recording, had some family duties to attend to for the past few weeks.
I like the feel to this - hope you like it.

Some people ask me if I’m different now.
And I don’t know what’s true,
Although I think I feel the same to me,
How do I seem to you?

Some people say I’m different now,
And I don’t know what’s true,
I think life is still the same to me,
Its just a different view.
How does it feel to you?
Does it still make you blue?

What you need to do,
Is look at it just from another view,
