There's definitely a better tone if I'm doing rolls with the banjo picks, but I find them to be really clumsy and often screw up. As for the irritation, my fingers are definitely sore after about 4 hours of practice, but I think that's more to do with the fact that I haven't played guitar for that long in years. I think I might go see if I can find a metal guitar pick and play around with that until I learn how to use the actual banjo picks.
As for the tuning, yes I'm using open G tuning for now.
