I was at a gig this past weekend and had a bit of a finger problem. Couldn't find any picks, but did have a business card.

To the OP: Paco de Leche used keratin picks!

I wonder about the legitimacy of these questions. Some of the recent new members have started with some, let's say, interesting posts. Are we being invaded by trolls?

I read this earlier today and was wondering how to reply but this was the best :

"Fender heavies or dunlop mediums depending on how fast the song was. that loocheeeuh was crazy mo fo. "

you don't have YouTube?? Two seconds of you tube will answer A LOT for you and it's "Paco De Lucia" and "flamenco" those are the only correct spellings.
