    Okay, so I keep asking:

    1. Why did anyone bother to reply to my comment by telling me that my personal choice is wrong?

    2. What did they expect to get as a reply?

    3. I looked at the rest of the comments and all the usual suspects were well represented. Why can’t I have a single comment about 0.38 without it getting shitted up by imbeciles?

    I don’t have any problem here coming from my end as far as I can tell.

    I didn’t do any of that shit that you imagined. All I did was to share the joy of light strings and thin picks with anyone who would listen.

    If you can’t hear my song, it’s not for you.

    Why try to shout me down? Why are you scared of light strings and thin picks?

    Go ahead, throw out my experience. What does that change now?

    Overall, your reply here is aimed at discrediting someone who had the audacity to recommend light strings and thin picks and who also made the grave error of citing their history in support of that opinion. :::

    Since you have figured this all out, please tell me why you replied to my comment. Please tell me why the other two replied to my comment. What is compelling you to shout down someone with a different opinion? There are more of you than the single me. Why are you afraid that my voice would be heard?

    Why is it so important to a number of people here to make sure that someone recommending light strings and thin picks be discredited? Sounds ridiculous to me. No one is defending the behavior yet, but it persists.

    No one has to like what I like. No one has to try light strings and thin picks.

    That said, if you say something stupid to me, I might give you a response for it.

    I also am aware that humans often times act out of fear, and here I believe it is fear of light strings and thin picks. What a silly thing to be afraid of, they can’t hurt you…

    You added zero value here and I wish that I could erase you from the record. I was not interested in anyone’s disagreement with my choice which is based upon a lifetime of experience. If anyone would care to ask me why I chose that way, well, that would be fine with me and I would be happy to share. Why did you reply to my comment if it was only to disagree with my choice? I was asked to share my choice and I did.

    Why did you reply to my comment? Do you want to make sure that others are dissuaded from trying light strings and thin picks? Pathetic. Its obviously a matter of preference you dolt. The post is asking us to share OUR PERSONAL FAVORITE YOU DOLT. You need not project yourself onto me,why are you panicking?

    Anyways, thin picks always give more response and dig because they are more flexible.

    Why did you reply to my comment? Do you want to make sure that others are dissuaded from trying light strings and thin picks? Pathetic. 33 years experience here. Keep trying maybe you get there someday…

    Anyways, thicker picks always behave more sloppily than thin, especially with heavier gauge strings. This is because they are less flexible. This is a fact and not an opinion.

    Sort of like comparing playing hockey with a pro style stick versus playing hockey with 3 or 4 hockey sticks fused together to make one thicker stick. Which one do you think handles the puck better?

    Or say like if you needed to reapetedly strike a very small object, say 0.9 mm square, and at controlled intervals. Which would be a better tool, a lightweight, thin, flexible hammer or a heavy, thick, large hammer?

    0.38 mm dunlop; I also recommend you play the lightest strings that you can find. Not joking. >30 years experience speaking.

    Judging from the comments, this is terrifying some less experienced players, they are truly scared. Given how scared they are, this could be fire. My advice is gold.

    I used to fully wear out JazzIII picks, tried about 5 or 6 different kind and I used to love them. They are trash to me at the moment.

    I used to play the heaviest Thomastik- Infeld strings available. Now I play the lightest strings that I can find.

    I did not make this comment for up-votes, nor do I wish to win any popularity contest.

    If I reach a single soul with the message of light strings and thin picks, then I am fully justified.




  • The key is that you persist. I call it survival or I like to say, despite whatever is going on, “yet I still persist”. Finding new and different reasons to help you maintain this persistence are also very important. Stay here don’t leave. That’s it.



  • I don’t listen to or follow any of the sources on the chart, and I don’t like politics. That said, as a passerby I thought it was an interesting chart. One thing I thought about, the legacy media that is highly manipulated in my opinion is dominated by so-called left and the pseudo independent in my opinion voices in red on the chart are dominated by so-called right.

    I believe most people no longer trust the legacy media and are turning to just about anything else as an alternative.

    I think most people mistakenly think that some of these voices in red are independent of or not affected by persuasion, coercion, other. Some of these voices in red are also potentially literal government agents.

    All that said, I also find it interesting that there are not more blue dots: pseudo independent so-called left voices.

    Does this mean that the so-called left audience is captive to the legacy media? And/or does this mean that the so-called left audience does not trust independent voices?

    I will check some of the comments to the original post to see if anybody has thoughts on that.

    Anyways, thanks for your time.
