Creating guitar picks
Is there anyone who knows how you can create good guitar picks? Maybe by means of a website or a tool like a Pick Punch?

Scissors and old credit cards work too unless you have to use a really heavy pick like I do.

I got one of these as a stocking filler for Xmas:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pickmaster-...r/dp/B004SHGBDG You can use it with any flexible plastic (e.g. old credit cards etc) to cut your own picks. |

Unless you’re practicing eight hours a day with soft picks you probably don’t go through them fast enough to justify doing it yourself. 72 packs of Tortex picks are only $17 on Amazon.

The main problem with making a pick this way is the edges are too sharp and create unwanted noise. They also grab the string all weird.
