Hey Mr. Woe, was it identical to the pick identified by Speedy M? An orange Dunlop .60? |

I've done the same, but I'm not taking lessons from any teacher. Whenever I used my heavy pick to play Frank Black, I would break all of my strings. I would have to change at least 1 string every weak.
I was so new to guitar that I didn't know there were different thickness. I only recently switched to a light pick in mid summer. |

Thanks gang. I've taught myself how to play guitar by utilizing the tabs on this site and a rock guitar chord book. I've started taking lessons and the teacher is encouraging me to use a thick dog-eared pick. It seems ok for bluegrass pick/strum patterns but not for playing FB material. Especially on the quick strums FB does while playing accoustic.
A special thanks to all of you who've contributed to the tab site. Its really opened up the world of music for me. |

I snagged one of Frank's after a show (not the one pictured). Ziggy is correct.

I read somewhere Joey played a metal pick when the Pixies recorded Surfer Rosa. Sorry I know that doesn't really help you much, perhaps he has the Pick of Destiny (PoD)?
