The YouTube

This week I return to YouTube with this report on the Birmingham Guitar Show, which was a blast. New video next week too!

Here it be – my interview with old friend and quality pick maker Nadz of Arcanum Plectra. HR!’s second live interview, I was thrilled to have him come over for a chat about his work. If you’d like to check it out, head over to @arcanumplectra on Facebook/Instagram, or here:

Returning to YouTube after a couple of weeks break, I thought it would be a good idea to re-introduce the Rep in its new format. Featuring picks from Jim Dunlop, Purple Plectrums, Stone Age, BHL, V Picks and Metapixs, it’s a simple portrayal of what I do here, and sets a precedent for the rest of the year. I’m trying to make the videos more concise, with better camera work and more pointed content, and if there’s anything you’d like to see, please let me know.

This week’s video is a special episode of The Science, where I take a trip to Avalon Plastics in Glastonbury thanks to Paul at Switch Picks to film the injection molding process.

This week’s video concerns the greatest shape in the HR! book, the Jazz XL. Pioneered by Jim Dunlop and a glorious item, the Jazz XL is my personal favourite, and although this video could have been many, many minutes long, I’ve kept it a sensible length to give you guys a relatively concise approach to this thing. Let me know your choices of XL’s in the comments – remember, there’s no bad choices in the Plectroverse!

To paraphrase Jennifer Lopez, it’s important to remember where you came from, so in this week’s video, I go back to my roots and give an account of where I’ve been.

If you’ve got questions, ask them. The Plectroverse is ours, and so we share it with each other.

It’s YouTube time, and this week I’m taking a look at unusual picks, odd shapes and smashing activity in general. With plectrums from Depic, Purple Plectrums, Howling Monkey, Winspear and Riki Le Plectrier, it’s a rollercoaster of dramatic magnificence, so check it out below!
