    Dunlop Jazz III-Red. If you are using fairly heavy strings.
    I also like the feel of Fender Medium Perloid with lighter strings(10's)

    I don't think it matters as long as you have 247 of them glued to your mic stand.

    I don't use a pick, but I can still do the power chord thingy.

    Hi,

    Is he suggesting that the pick has to be distorted for the guitar to do so?

    Yeah, Craig's strings, look much better right now!
