Failure to Fracture, Ep. 2: Round Picks vs. Sharp Picks
In my experience, playing King Crimson's epic (and notoriously difficult) song "Fracture" with a round pick did not lead to the best results. Here's my explanation why in addition to an inventory of sharp/triangular picks, including the Guitar Craft triangular delrin and India rubber picks.
