I still have a set of picks that somebody on the forum made for me several years ago which can be used for the one finger tremolo thing. They're a standard metal finger pick, and the "blade" ...

I don't mind the look, although it's bulkier than I'd like. It's the sound, and the weight/feel.

Lots of things don't sound "correct" when you've got steel in the mix, but if that's not the goal then you're fine.

There's almost always a way to fit in, to add something worthwhile to ...

P.S. Unless it's his seven-string, in which case there would be a high D.

Having to change strings means not being able to switch back and forth at will, but it probably also means you have to stick with something until you've given it a good run.
