Just a comment on using picks. Aldrine mentioned in the video in response to the question on using aluminum picks, "try using plastic picks, they should be the same right?" Having played guitar with a pick for many years I can say from experience that aluminum picks do not feel anything like plastic picks. I have played using nylon picks, delrin picks, ultex picks, metal picks, etc. of various thicknesses, shapes and sizes and the size, shape, thickness, etc. of a pick can make a huge difference in how they feel to the person as well as the sound that is made when it hits the strings.
