[schred]

[GuitarNoob]

stubbies for me, 2.0mm, any of you guys use this too? if so, do you have the problem of it wearing out and becoming very rough?

I use Jim Dunlop Tortex Sharps 1.35. Those with a pointed tip and black in color haha. Best feel that I ever found in a guitar pick! Somehow I prefer the tortex texture to plastic picks, they feel more substantial and easy to grip haha

Yeap, I use them... wear isn't too bad unless you do pick scraps with them! And well... yeah... I play for a couple of hours everyday... been using the same stubby for the past few months...

If there is really a problem... you COULD... sandpaper it off. Overkill but yeah... heh.

hmm my one and only pick, jun dumlop extra hard, yellow in colour

 

[pooo]

My favourites are still picks made out of delrin. Specifically either 2.0mm dunlops, or Prs. It's gotta be thick to be able to handle the .10s on my guitars

I simply love the Tortex. The Wedge...it has the powdery feeling and the wide bass allows a better grip, .73mm for me.

After the tortex, comes the JazzIII..

i used to use ESP heavy.. but i duno where to find them anymore.. So i switched to ibanez joe satrianis.. Then when i first went over to my teacher's place for the first lesson.. He introduced me to Jazz IIIs and i've been using them ever since

eh i wonder hw u guys can use so thick picks(2.0mm) nt uncomfortable ah? i find 1.5mm picks are already uncomfortable to pick with...

 

[subversion]

personal philosophy: the thicker the pick, the less energy needed to play, less lethargy, less mistakes 8) however, thick picks come with a tradeoff, they make those noisy clanking sounds in contact with the string. recently, i've got a preference for Dunlop's 3.0 Stubby, but i prefer the nylon version...

i've just been made a convert to a jazz iii user.

the only other pick i like now is the awe-in-one transparent profound pick, which gives me some shimmer and sparkle when playing the notes. very nice!

hmmm, i use strictly fender picks, haha because theyre very cheap, haha a pack of 12 Extra Heavy picks at swee lee costs $4, so its abt 33c a piece, and its got that tortex texture

Pros:
Cheap
Doesn't break easily
I like the sound
Just right for me, although i wouldn't mind it being a bit thicker, but its the thickest gauge they got

Cons:
Its in ugly purple
Only sweelee sells the packs
