The cheap locks are thatbpoor quality they can be a pig to pick.
This does not mean they are good.
Don't try to learn on cheap locks as you will pull your hair out.

Hi mate

Get stuck right in, have a read of the files in the library section, Check out the videos in that section too.
Pop in to "what I picked today" and see what has been going on!

Simple answer here mate is to have a look in the Newbies section as there are many many threads on what picks to move on to. For me i’d say the SouthOrd 2010 set.. but have a look in the threads for other equally good options and recommendations .
