Awesome!! Thanks Michele, and thanks Jon! Makes sense, not using a pick seems like it would be uncomfortable, ouch, esp for faster playing.

So excited, I'm with my 19-yr-old niece Sarah who I haven't seen in a few months... and guess who is a brand new Your Vegas fan? :blush2: :lol: is it any wonder? I knew she'd be geeked for them! Who wouldn't be. And I'd be lying if I said she didn't have an affection developing for a certain bassist. :wink: mama didn't raise no fool! her exact words: "their music is sooo good.... and then they're ALL HOT TOO!!!". Yes Sarah it is and yes they are! I try to carry an extra cd with me, cause ya just never know when you'll have someone to give it to... and at ten bucks a pop at target, why not?? so voila. : lol: viva your vegas, baby! :yahoo:

Hm. People keep saying, "Ewww~! Sushi! Why would anyone want to eat raw fish?"

Sushi can have cooked fish in it.

SASHIMI is raw.

:wub: I'm still so in awe that he took the time to answer my question! It really does make sense, I had a hunch it was for comfort reasons, I know JT uses vaseline to help soothe his fingers while plucking. Thank you again, Jon! Felt silly asking him, but well, you know what us teachers say..."there is no such thing as a dumb question" :wink: !
Julie- SO cool about Sarah! Great that you could give her a cd right away, too :yahoo: !

And I like California rolls, Robyn! Yummers! Sashimi is not my bag at all :no: !

Hey, all!
I got a response from Jon! Here it is:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey Michele, I hope you're well and enjoying the w/e.

I play with a pick as I find it more comfortable. It was never a conscious decision, I just always have. When I first started playing it felt like the natural way for me to do it. I guess you could compare it too whether you're left or right-handed, one just feels natural and dominates.

However, on slow songs I pluck with with my fingers as I find this gives me more feel and groove. On both TWTWWW and Salvador I play with my fingers for the first half of the songs then move to a pick when Mal kicks in with a heavier beat.

Jon. x

So now we know  :wink: !

I'm more aware of the pic in his mouth now during the slow parts that we had this discussion. :lol: Cropped this from Mistie's pics from Hard Rock, thanks Mistie! The bass strings look so much thicker than on the guitar, it looks like it would hurt if you played w/out a pick too long, ouch!

I remember I once got a picture of Simon Taylor (guitarist of Klaxons) with his pick in his mouth.
I later ended up getting that pick and my friend was grossed out when she was holding it and I told her he put it in his mouth, haha.

hmm-mmm, I don't think it's gross either. It's not like it's a guitar pick from the garbage man or old dude at the grocery store :lol: hello! Hotties!

Who wants a pick that looks like it just came out of the box?

Where is the charm in that?

Gimme teeth marks!

Let me guess, you all wouldn't throw a fit if the teeth (still connected to a body) were still attached to the pick... would you? :airkiss:
