I use the whole darn fretboard except for maybe 18 -24 on the 4th, 5th and 6th string. Don't need no carpal tunnel syndrome.

Here's my newest main axe - 2014 Gibson 1954 Custom Shop Historic Reissue Goldtop.
I love it. I typically play my Casino or Jazzmaster, but this one just feels nice and the sound is great.

Ya know, I am not sure. Looks like it might be. Hard to tell from the video.
Alright guitarists, I have a question. Those of you that are in a band: Where is your position on stage? If you watch any live act, every member has their general spot that they occupy. The few bands I have been in, I always occupied the left stage (audience POV), which would be the right stage from my point of view. Dunno, this is where I always felt like I belonged.
Picks.
For heavier stuff (read: not strumming), I like a nice sharp and thick pick. I've been using Jazz III picks for a while and while they dull after a while they have a very good point when new. The problem is that I have always felt they are a little too small for my hand. Just never felt totally comfortable.
I ordered a few of these last week from V-picks and after p[laying with it for the weekend I have to say they are definitely replacing the Jazz III picks for me. Full size pick the same size as a Fender style pick but they are really sharp and stiff. They have a reputation for being super tough so I don't think I'll be wearing them out any time soon.
They don't strum as well as a more flexible pick so if you do a lot of that, these might not be for you.
Now, if I can just not lose them I will be good to go. One of these costs about the same as a whole pack of Jazz III picks.

Kid I work with wants me to teach them to play guitar, so when I saw this on musiciansfriend.com for $99.00 with free shipping, I snagged it. I've always had good luck with ESP products, even their cheaper models. It will be a good knock around guitar for me and something for her to practice on.
