Using the Dremel is a great idea. Short of using a very small chainsaw, that's about as good a blokey touch as I can imagine. 8) It should definitely deflect any potential cracks about nail varnish and eye shadow...

It also sounds like a perfect excuse to buy a dremel. :D I've got a well equipped workshop (from my furniture making and house building days) but never got around to buying one of those little beauties.
I reviewed it here.

It's pretty good for an extra effect in your kit, but not all the advertising makes it out to be.

Worth the money. Thanks Nick. Will find and read.

It's time I put a bit more effort into pick style playing, and having a few unusual angles to explore often helps keep me on task.

Now if could just get hold of Robert Johnson's index finger bone, and find the right crossroads to stand at....... :wink:

Oddly enough, I was wondering about bone.

Another thing I've meant to look into one day was false nails - the sort women wear. Anybody tried those when their own nails either broke or were lousy in the first place? Are they any good? Difficult to get off again, or whatever? I could paint them to match the guitar :wink:

I know that Classical guitarists are incredibly careful about nail care and if they break one before a recital it's a major disaster. :(

I have pretty ordinary nails that break a fair bit, so I tend to finger pick with the tips of my fingers, with just a bit of added nail if there's any available at the time.


Cheers, Chris I play mostly finger-style Chris, and I've been having false nails applied to my right hand for about a year now and they work out great. I can get a hard attack like using a pick with them or a softer attack using the tip of my finger with just a bit of nail. Pretty easy to maintain, just use a dremmel to shape and shorten as they grow out]]> Guitar Players Discussion teleplayer324 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/unusual-picks/#post-142603 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/unusual-picks/#post-142571 Mon, 05 Dec 2005 16:22:02 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion rparker https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/unusual-picks/#post-142571 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/unusual-picks/#post-142558 Mon, 05 Dec 2005 15:23:24 +0000

I've come across them on the net, but never seen one face to face. Anybody used one?

I have something that looks just like it though, which I had to buy when my son was at PrimarySchool. But it's a nit comb! :shock:
