		<description><![CDATA[Eric Johnson – the infamous 9v-battery-sniffer, perfectionist and tone/touch maestro – had this to say about how axe-slingers can improve their tone and feel in the recent Guitar Player mag with him on the cover: &#8220;[Gear and fine-tuning it] is essential to facilitate the intention of your playing. Second is the way that [you] pick [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[High Knuckles = &#8216;Well-Spoken&#8217; Tone? Here&#8217;s a guy I never thought we&#8217;d write about on this blog. In case that&#8217;s not clear, I&#8217;ll come right out with it: I&#8217;m not a Grateful Dead fan. The whole never-ending concert, drooling stoner, zero-aggression, electric caravan music scene was never my thing. Call me close-minded, but I never [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;and Not Needing To In keeping with our picking theme this week, here&#8217;s more, this time from the one and only Allan Holdsworth. In a 1990 Guitar Player magazine interview, he says he can&#8217;t sweep pick – which I&#8217;m assuming is true only because he doesn&#8217;t really want to because there&#8217;s nothing Allan can&#8217;t do [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sometime back I started a thread on thegearpage.net titled &#8220;Outlaw sweep-picking?&#8221; and I meant it – sort of. I meant it in the sense that 9 out of the 10 times I&#8217;ve seen or heard sweep-picking in the rock arena, it&#8217;s been pure &#8220;wankage.&#8221; It may even detract from all-important TONE. There&#8217;s no feeling associated [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On the subject of switching your picking from thumb/forefinger to thumb/first two fingers &#8212; well, you can go the other way too. Paul Gilbert used to play with two fingers and a thumb, but switched to thumb/forefinger, apparently just to get a cooler, cello-like pick attack &#8212; and because of a little thumb pain. Here&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

Specifically, if I remember right, he holds it with his thumb and first two fingers &#8212; contrary to the grip 99% of people seem to use, which is thumb and first (pointer) [...]]]></description>
