I haven't heard to many good things about the jackknife picks in terms of the feel they give. If you are going to practice a lot I would not recommend one. They look kool though :wink:

you can find may pick set own by are very own member by searching. To be a really good picker takes time and patience. There is really no set time. Some people reach their goal faster than others.

Yea I was pissed today.Since I have a low budget, I found a wiper next door, and it was plastic grrrrr.

Ok, well Perin has made a specific thread for it, but I said that I'd post here
if I ever heard back from Perin (not like the last two tos*ers) and well, I
did, and he has been more than greatful for the picks.

Happy picking, Perin.

I have a question: Say I have a photo on my computer that I'd like to upload to the forum. How do I use the Img-function?
Maybe the axe isn't the fastest way in afterall?

Mortheus.

Go to http://www.photobucket.com/ and create an account. (free)

When you have an account, press 'add image' or some equivalent.
It will ask for a URL or whatever of that image, but if it is saved onto
your computer, click "BROWSE".

This will take you into your pictures. If it is in 'My Documents' or 'Desktop'
or on a disc, press the dropdown thing that says "Look in" My Documents.

click the image and press, 'open'.

That will save it in your photobucket account 'album'.

You will see the URL label there somewhere, so copy that to a post.


now while it is in your post, highlight the URL and push the URL button.
now press PREVIEW to see if it works because it is very annoying to
have dead links in a post.



Highlighting can be used also, with the other buttons, too ie: bold, italic, underline, etc.
