Hi Jerry!
Happy New year to you both! Thanks so much for the JT! Also thanks for the rec of Thalia capos! Really enjoying them! What guitar are you playing in the Country roads video? It looks and sounds beautiful! If you get a chance look up one of my teachers here in Columbus Ohio, Adam Sclenker, 5thstreetproductions (I’ll send link to be more accurate…) Checkout his Cotten fiber picks! I love them and I have used everything from bluechip to red bear, but never turtleshell… You hardly here a sound when the puck impacts the strings! Amazing sound!
Happy New Years!

Hi Jorden. Send me that link. Those picks sound interesting. That guitar is a Taylor 24ce. It’s a beauty.
