Hi
I came across this site by accident yesterday, and have to say how relieved I am to find a forum on the subject where people speak normally and aren't afraid to be opinionated. I found lp101 first, and it seems pretty sterile and hard to work with, and I am really happy to have found a resource like this.
I'm in Phoenix, and have always thought picking would be an awesome skill to learn, and am starting to gather some materials to try my hand at making my own picks.
Thanks for everything you've put together here.
