why such a weird question anyway?

 

[pooo]

Dunlop 1.5 mms for .09s , 2.0mms for .10s.

 

[mitth]

wa... y everyone using so thick picks. are thick picks easier to use?

 

[pooo]

More rigid, easier to do fast picking, shredding. The picks are hard enough that they don't bend upon contact with the string, cutting down the picking distance so to speak. Heh, i can't play with anything lighter than 1.5mms, or any other brand of picks other than Dunlop or PRS.

 

[mitth]

wow tts mean im good man, i use .73mm xD hahahaha jk!

kk must try...

Ive been using the jim dunlop 2.0mm pick...

The one with the turtle printed on it.

 

[ItAcHi]

actually...how do different picks have any difference from each other? produce different sounds?

 

[Vaiyen]

I use the Dunlop Stubby 2mm. Grey colour with a depression in the center. Awesome for fast picking.

Hey, I'm using Dunlop Tortex 1.5mm and 1.14mm and ESP 0.7mm and above. For fast picking I'd choose 1.5, more stable and more tone... =) Maybe you might wanna try some hard picks to see if they suit you.

I'm using Jim Dunlop Medium picks. Dunno how thick they are though.

 

[vaisms]

Stuck with Jazz III BLACK picks...for many many years..I can't use other picks!

 

[Praetorian]

JIM DUNLOP STUBBY!!!!!!!!

Best picks in the world. Small, and they have the tapered edge so that when you release the string there isn't that scraping sound. Some of you might like it, i don't.

I started out using 3mm's....

Now i'm down to 2mm and 1mm. Like 1mm the best.

 

[Newbie]

Eh stubby very big right. You guys got which one.

Ive got the really big triangulish one. And a oral pointed one.

 

[Vaiyen]

the translucent purple ones produce that awful scratching noise.
Try the grey ones. made of a different material that eliminates the unwanted noise.
