So I bought these picks recently in my attempt to select the "perfect" pick for my mando-playing. Like so: http://www.jdmc.com/product/494P101.html
Aaand, I don't get it. I love the material, it is sturdy and provides an excellent grip. But, I can't get any sound out of them. Instead of plucking the string, the (very) rounded edge just sort of rolls off the string, producing barely any sound
I don't have this problem with the more guitar-y picks like Ultex Triangle and Tortex Triangle and Wedge shapes. I do hold the instrument at a slight angle, as many online lessons suggest (and as copied from famous players like Chris Thile).
Is anyone using these? What am I doing wrong?
