The last week or so, I've been looking at my pick and finding I'm using the rounded point on my Blue Chip TAD 1R 60. This must mean I'm getting to be a real mandolin player.
One can hope.

Keep on hoping (and practicing), and you'll get there... :-)
Davey Stuart tenor guitar (based on his 18" mandola design).
Eastman MD-604SB with Grover 309 tuners.
Eastwood 4 string electric mandostang, 2x Airline e-mandola (4-string) one strung as an e-OM.
DSP's: Helix HX Stomp, various Zooms.
Amps: THR-10, Sony XB-20.
Real players will use either or both. You get different effects from pointier and rounded. Keep up the good work.

Ooh, careful now. Round vs. pointed generates the same shiz around here as tastes great vs. less filling does for light beer drinkers.
Well, having a TAD 1R 60 or a Wegen dipper can get you out of some tight spots should you find yourself in an enclave of pointy pickers or roundy ramblers.

Yeah I used to have edges too. Now i'm round all around.
No matter where I go, there I am...Unless I'm running a little late.
