Pick-click for newbies

[bigskygirl]

No doubt he’s a good player but it’s a nice indicator of inserting the pick too far into the strings. I have a mando with an unscooped Florida and when I first play it I get some click, it helps me work on gliding the pick over the strings so it’s not a bluegrass thing it’s technique.

I'm telling you all despite the clicking in this video this man can probably blow all of you away with his playing. I have heard him.

Maybe so.

Maybe not.

I doubt it, you haven't heard all of us,,

And many of us listen to Italian and classical players that have zero issues with pick click.

I guess my real issue is that I hate to see perfectly good mandolins get their upper register frets amputated because some players cannot control the pick.

Different standards in different style of music, I guess.

Now things are just getting weird.

Nope, never have and probably won't. I don't have the pick click problem.

How much better would all those "good" pickers sound if there was no pick click?
