Hey Marty, I can't seem to find this info anywhere, and I looked through all the questions posted here too. What kind of picks do you use? (Specifically on Rust in Peace if you can remember). I'm currently using the green Tortex picks (.88), but it feels as if they slow me down on solos like Tornado of Souls. Do you use only 1 type/size of pick, or do you not care really? Is is something you feel is important to your playing ability? Oh ya, and of course, your an insanely good guitarist (I'm sure you've never heard that before), and I've learned so much just by LISTENING to you. Hope you can respond to this.
