Hey CBC Music, Kirk Hammett Metallica
0:08
and today I'm actually
0:13
debuting my new pick! , my guitar
0:17
picks are lime green, I have a
0:20
black pick with metallic flake in it.
0:24
I got these metallic flake
0:26
but if i drop these on the stage I'm ******
0:28
because I can't... I won't them!
0:32
Dunlop made these... these pics but
0:35
it's my own style.
0:36
It's a pick with a V cut out so it
0:40
forms a weird heart and the
0:44
reason why that V-shape is cut out is so
0:46
I can hold it better because yes,
0:49
I picks a lot because I sweat a lot.
0:52
It also has my signature the pick and
0:55
it's textured and the reason that is
0:57
also i can grip the pick a little
1:00
bit better. It completely my guitar
1:02
style, completely changed ,
1:05
completely changed how I pick... this
1:08
little pick thing right here was like... the
1:11
to happen to my playing.
1:14
You only have that much pick exposed...
1:18
it's a smaller range of motion so I can
1:21
get more notes in, it's harder so when I
1:23
, all the notes
1:27
ring out better with chords and
1:30
when - because I've cut out
1:33
that V - when I invert it and like do pick
1:36
slides and whatever crazy stuff on the
1:39
neck, I can make all sorts of crazy
1:40
sounds , so I mean that
1:44
V-shape actually has some
1:45
to it, too. And yeah, I love
1:49
this pick. I can just , literally!
1:53
And yeah, I need a pick that's
1:58
none more black.
