If you drop any of these picks, try not to drop them on your toes.

Patrick is the nicest guys and makes incredible guitars. Such a great guy!

I like the way the brass pick goes “chug chug chichchxich” I think it has a really nice sound

Honestly, I feel like many guitar players don't think enough about how much a pick changes the tone. Coming from someone who doubles on upright bass and guitar, if you compare guitars to classical strings, the pick is the equivalent to the bow. A bow can cost as much as a brand new Les Paul, sometimes even more, but they spend that kind of money because it changes the timbre. I wouldn't necessarily spend more than $10-$15 a piece on picks, but tbh if you're someone who can keep from losing them, I see no reason spending extra money on picks is any more rediculous than spending extra money on strings.

Ive used these for years and as you get used to them you'll notice your picking hand cramping up way less than using thinner picks.

I can definitely vouch for using different picks for double tracking panned guitars. I've been doing that for years, I'll use a really heavy Petrucci flow pick on one side and a much thinner ultex sharp on the other side. It's a subtle difference but it really fills out the mix without getting unbalanced. The brass pick sounds killer, I love that little bit of cello attack!

[JustRockMySoul]

Awesome that he sent you that variety pack despite your channel not being that big (yet)!
Wish you both all the success!

I lose picks on a daily basis. Imagine losing these.

Legend for adding bass as well man! Thanks!

I've been following Patrick Hufschmid for years now and his guitars are absolute perfection...never been into thick picks but I believe they are absolute perfection as well

[ChrisPuckett]

I just got one of these Hufschmid Galalith Granite pics a month ago. I’ve been playing it nonstop and I may never go back to a typical guitar pic. Thanks Patrick! 🇨🇭

I'll stick with my fender heavy california series picks. They're see thru aqua blue. I like them.

[GuitarRamstein]

Very good demonstration, I have been making picks of various materials (copper, bone, old cymbals, antler etc etc )for a couple years now that I use and sell. Definitely the most use I find is in the studio to make a subtle difference in guitar tones, and sometimes it gives exactly what is needed in tone to cut through the mix. Though my everyday go to is Tortex, the tonal differences of different material picks is highly overlooked. Also, the non beveled edges on metal/copper brass etc is definitely one factor that drove me to start making my own.

[moonboogien]

Those galalith picks sound N A S T Y with high gain... In a good way.

"this pick will last my whole life." Until it vanishes into the dimension that claims all the good picks when you're not looking.

Huf kinda deserves an audio audit for himself but nice gesture of him. And I love your 80’s shreddy vibes, KDH

[domoniquebrooks]

I make guitar picks out of old brass car wash tokens and swear by them. With metal picks you MUST bevel and polish them, it makes a HUGE difference in feel. When you do, they bite into the strings less and smoothly glide through the strings with ease, not to mention they tear up your strings less.

My first guitar, in 2009, was a custom Hufschmid! I still have it to this day and I love it!

Adamas picks are 2mm and made of graphite. Used by Jerry Garcia and are used by Trey Anastasio exclusively. The string response from them is great. If the edges get rough, you just rapidly slide them back and forth on low commercial carpet and the edges will be smoothed out. They are about $2.50 each but will last a very long time (I carry extras in my bag but the one that I keep in my pocket is 2 years old). Available from Amazon and I highly recommend them, if you don't mind the thickness of them.

I lost 6 guitar picks this last 2 months, so i'll just stick with the regular
