## Resource

In Episode #89, Tim and Josh dive into one of the most debated topics in bluegrass music — guitar picks . From thickness and tone to grip and durability, the guys break down what makes a great pick for flatpicking and rhythm guitar. Whether you’re a beginner trying to find your sound or a seasoned picker chasing that perfect tone, this conversation is packed with practical insight and plenty of pickin’ talk. Of course, it wouldn’t be a proper episode without some live music. Josh delivers a standout performance of “Oak Valley Girl” — full of drive, heart, and that traditional bluegrass spirit we all love. It’s the kind of song that reminds you why this music still resonates generation after generation.
