Lick of the Day #29 from V-Picks

A very cool lick that Vinni learned from Robben Ford. In the A Pentatonic. This lick could be used anywhere. Also, the V-Pick Large Rounded and Large Pointed Pearly Gates guitar picks are demonstrated

Hey Vinni, is this usung the A minor natural and the A minor pentatonic? Im new to the theory stuff :)

[nancylanesmith]

Yeah. It sounds like you got it right. i really don't know all that stuff.

[MrGuimbard]

[nancylanesmith]

the v-picks i ordered dont stick at all! :(

ive cleaned them with soap and water countless times, even tried alcohol..

it just doesnt work. ive ordered pearly gates large rounded, medium light pointed, small pointed, a screamer and some more... non of them stick at all...

but the design is wicked. anything to do about stickyness?

[nancylanesmith]

OK, A customer talk me the trick that works! Breathe on them with an "haww" like you are cleaning your glasses. This puts just a bit of moisture on them and Voila! I think this will work for you.

@nancylanesmith One of the best things I've found for getting a pick to 'stick' is to use Elmer's Repositionable Glue stick. I usually just rub my thumb and forefinger over the tip of the glue stick, and I'm good to go. Unless I'm seriously sweating (it gets humid here in New Jersey!), this technique works!

@richogem Vinni's trick should work, then - perhaps your skin is a tad dr. I use PG Medium Pointed myself and never had the happen to me, so it could be a lack of moisture causing this.

[270Gmoney]

I've been waiting for these!

[richogem]

@FredtheShred i use only the screamer and the medium pointed because all the others are really just slippery! how bizzare! they didnt use to be like this.

the pearly gates one especially.. it barely holds.

awesome stuff vinni...by the way i have to apologize for not doing the rest of my video series. My camera broke down and i have no way to record the rest of it with a decent enough quality!
