Quite literally the first boutique picks I owned, I’ve been wanting to interview Chris Fahey of Gravity Picks for a long time. Thanks to a mutual acquaintance, I’ve finally gotten the opportunity to talk to Chris through the medium of the internet. Sit down and have a good old read of this hearty dialogue between […]
It was quite the day when I posted for the first time in the Player’s Pick Podcast Facebook group (thanks Chrys!), and I was asked by a gentleman called Gareth about Frock Picks. He told me that the only player he’d ever seen using them was one Dave Martone, a Canadian guitarist of some serious […]
In an event for the ages, I guested on the Fret Talk Podcast with Pedalboards Of Doom and Budget Pedal Chap on YouTube/Facebook with an hour and a half-long livestream the other night. If you’d like to see the whole thing, it is above, and make sure that you go and follow Pedalboards Of Doom […]
Still a spellbinding universe, the magic of vintage collecting holds an immense fascination for me. Among the collectors out there in the Plectroverse, one of the most interesting accounts is that of Fredrik Tigerstrom from Picks Of The Past. We knuckle down for a good chat about the collecting scene, excitement, and the joy of […]
Collector, player, enthusiast and music lover Jeff White of Plectrum Spectrum is one of an inner circle of pick collectors in the modern era.

We interviewed the plectrum guru, guitar sage […]
In my very first interview, I have a right old chat with the irrepressible Tom Kuppens of Vinyl & Coffee. Tom is a great man for picks, and has been a supporter of HR! since the early days, so it was a genuine pleasure to be approached by him for an interview about the blog. […]
One of the Plectroverse’s best kept secrets, DawMan Manufacturing are responsible for some of the most strikingly efficient plectrums I’ve ever come across. Not content with thrusting their Jazz King into this top 5 , their Shredline pulped the opposition to be crowned my favourite pick of the year in the second ever HR! video […]
