NO GUITAR PICK ... Jared James Nichols, this guy plays Guitar, with NO Pick... interesting!

Post by MetalSludgeCEO »

See that he got added to the MORC... and wasn't really sure who he was, even though I had heard his name before!

So, googled... find out, he's from Wisconsin, only 35... and an absolute monster player.

Then see, he uses NO guitar pick... very interesting... as not a lot of guys play like that!

Absolute ripper of a player, and makes the BEST guitar faces while doing it. But, I don't think he has the songs.....

Lindsay Buckingham doesn’t use a pick either. Fantastic player and he has the songs too.

John 5 can rip without a pick too.

Keith Urban (I know, not our genre) also seldom uses a pick and can shred. Kotzen and others already mentioned.

Robby Krueger rarely uses a pic, especially in the Doors…

Warren DiMartini is a good player who does use a pick.

Yes. And of course, Mick Mars played with a prick.

Erik Turner and Joey Allen could barely play with picks. Joey had to learn because his hair was falling out as fast as the sold records.
