Toshi Iseda's pick's

juiceofvenus · #1 04-19-2001, 03:50 PM

I got Toshi Iseda's CD Full On & with the cd i received a Toshi engraved pick & a 7 string set, both are sayed to be gibson, cuz toshi endorses gibson strings & picks, but guess what i e-mailed gibson & they have no clue who Toshi is.

The thing is that this is the best pick i've ever played with, pretty simple too, just a plain white pick, a bit over 1mm in thickness, but very stiff.

So i wanna get loads of these, any one know the exact brand & model he uses?

Thanks

Ha! *That is funny. Toshi "Look, I can plug my guitar into an Eventide, flip to the 'Heaven' setting and create a masterpiece" Iseda is so full of himself. He is such a poser. *Go to his website and email him. *I'm sure he'll have some excuse.

I see "Toe-cheese" All the time at the local guitar shows, and believe me, he IS very full of himself.
He has his CD on a table with some poor shmuck stuck there selling it for him, with pictures of himself and Marty Friedman, John Pettrucci, and a few other famous guys that he bugged into submission to write letters of praise for his turd of a CD. Very sad, and he was taking adds out in the local entertainment magazine, pimping his skills as a guitar teacher... BLAHHHHHH :P :sarcasm:

At concerts he wears a necklace of about a hundred old BS passes ( not sure why ) and always gets back stage.
I met him when Dream theater came through right after Moore quit and he was there bugging JP to listen to his CD... *Just an insecure guy overcompensating in my opinion.

I can see that he's full of himself, from the inscriptions inside the cd & i think he's got way too many endorsements & i can't understand why from eventide, but anyway i didn't praise this guy, i just want to know what kind of pick that is, that's all i don't want toshi iseda engraved picks, i just want normal plain picks, just wanted to know what it is, so i could ask at a store for the respective brand/model, i guess i'll teke the pick with me & compare it with others

Are ya'll talking about Yngwie or Toshi?

he hee

I've never heard his playing, is he all that and a scoop of butter too?

tomizm,

check out his website, www.overthetop.com *and you might find a sound clip or two. *He only plays 7 strings and has a nice collection of 7s. *

His site is dedicated to showing off who he has had his picture taken with and how many personalized notes he has from real guitarists. *He is such a sham.

I thought he had an endorsement with Washburn for a 7 string?

Hey thanx!
Just checked it out. *Yea, he reminds me of Planet X and Gary Hoey, but with 1/4 the talent.

Jeez, give the guy a break. *I got his CD cheap at some point. I listened to it once or so. *There weren't any songs, but the guy has some chops. *If all of you can play better than him, I might as well give it up right now.

Toshi Iseda is a very talented guitarist! And if you ask me he deserves to be full of himself. Watch some of his videos you might learn something

IzzyE · #10 01-14-2011, 07:37 PM

Are you jealous much?

LonePhantom · #11 01-14-2011, 07:56 PM

Wow! You resurrected a 10 year thread for that? So worthwhile.....

I've literally never heard of him before this post O.o

Hes ok. I looked over his "Advanced guitar" videos on youtube... and it was phrasing over a pentatonic in various ways. Cool -.-

I do like his licks! they are fun for the most part, but nothing Id compare him to steve vai or satch man at all.
