Thanks Paolo. It was a new one on me also. What a great video. This is the first time I've ever seen Chet play with a different type of thumbpick. Was he just experimenting? Thanks again Paolo. A nice way reminder to dust off some Christmas tunes. Roger

I wondered about that pick as well. I couldnĀ“t see wether it is was thumbpick or a straight pick. That would really be unusual, imagine Chet with a straight pick.

Around 1:23, you can see it better. I watched it in full screen, and it's definitely a thumbpick. It looks like a Herco thumbpick that is wide like some flatpicks. I remember Paul saying that Chet used them for a while.
