Further to this post by dsquared, Mr. Fist feels moved to reveal that the guitars in this recording were strung with Ernie Ball Super Slinkys (.009″–.042″) and played with a Jim Dunlop 0.73mm pick, as well as that they were played through, variously, Guitar Rig, Amp Designer, and a Blackstar HT-5 Combo.

Pick [sic] size flame war.

I’m presuming that this was just a normal Jim Dunlop .73mm and not the “Fin” design?

I’m glad you asked? It was a normally shaped .73mm but fashioned from Ultex rather than Tortex.

Well yes, I could hear that.

Steven Poole writes words for books and newspapers, and music for films. You can send him an email.

It's my book about political language in the era of the war on terror, that has its own website. There are a great many words over there.

It's my book about the aesthetics of videogames, and was also a column in Edge magazine, and a BBC TV documentary.

My hard-of-hearing pop-trance-rock avatar, he also has his own very minimalist website, with tunes and a massive logo.
