 Godin nylon scratchy sound Hi, just purchased a Godin Multiac nylon and I have to say its a beautiful instrument! I am used to playing a Gibson 137 custom with 12 flats and a Big Stubby 2.0 mm pick! The Godin when playing with just fingers sounds amazing but If I need the speed I have become accustomed to and use the Big Stubby that I am also very comfortable with you can clearly here the pick scratching  Even easing off the pick pressure doesn't help! Anyone recommend a heavy pick that is Nylon compatible??? Eddie     |

 nylons This is a big problem. I like to play nylon string only my fingers...fingers create natural sound. ...but I heard Kurt Rosenwinkel on Godin nylon strings guitar playing by pick.I do not know what pich he use with it. The sound was fantastic -a little similar to arch-top jazz box.  |

| I just played one at Guitar Center in an isolated room a week ago and didn't have any odd or unpleasant sound artifacts, at least none I could discern. It could be that the eq of the guitar or amp was the big factor....or that I was using my trusty Dunlop Jazz 208 pick that made for a very pleasant diversion into the nylon realm. I want a Godin ACS something, they're too cool.

| If you have been using the pick on steel, then the pick itself is probably scratched on the edges. Try some very fine sandpaper (600-1200 grit) to smooth up the pick. Even a brand new pick that is molded may have a little bit of excess material at the edges. It could be scratchier than a used one. The sandpaper should work. That's exactly what classical players use on their fingernails to get that really smooth attack. |

| I have a Multiac grand concert. I use the dunlop tortex 114m(small jazz ones with rounded edge). Works great. I think you should just avoid stubbys and jazz 3's and anything with a sharp edge. www.jostein-g.com Jostein Gulbrandsen op Myspace Music – Gratis gestreamde MP3’s, foto’s en Videoclips |
