Speaking of which, I just got a V Pick Fattie.
Just. Got. Big. Fat. Pick.
And uh... its... actually workable. Review coming up.
Btw, I found that the pointy V Picks is the easier way to start off... reason being, I think most players slant their picks. On a rounded/regular V Pick, you do that and you get a very muted/dulled sound... You can't do that. And if you are not used to keeping your pick straight like parallel to the strings, then you should go for the pointy V Picks first. I found that once I got used to holding my V Pick parallel to the strings, the regular ones fare just as well - just a touch less bite - but a LOT more control and its eassssyyy to sweep.
