Follow the directions above for when to play which gauge. The trick is in turning the pick on time. It will take practice, but it is a lot easier than stopping to get a new pick. As you get better you can create nuanced sound that you couldn't get with a single gauge pick. While you are rockin' out to this amazing tune, consider that Black Sabbath addresses social issues through their music, not the Devil. So now if someone gets down on you for playing this song, you can simply say, “It's a peace band, dude. It's practically folk music.”
