what kind of pick do you use?

Red Jazz III. They take a little while to get used to and then their insane!!!!

Oh man, I remember when I first started playing I could only use these white dunlop picks that were as flexy as paper...

Dunlop .88mm picks (those green ones), Fender heavy picks, and sometimes

the Dunlop Big Stubby and Stubby picks (3.0mm).

Had some others, but gave 'em to a friend.

Iv'e played since 1970 and i have always used thin picks. I have used .35 dunlop for about 10 years now. --the dog

.38 or .42 mm Jim Dunlop nylons for rhythm guitar only. .60mm if I'm playing some lead as well. Never anything thicker.

For about the first 5 or 6 years of playing I bought picks like they were going out of fashion. I had big ones, small ones, thin ones, thick ones. Etc.

But now I only use Jim Dunlop Tortex Small Tear Drop 1.14mm.
I have about 20 of them and they get everywhere! I don't think you have to move more than one step anywhere in my flat to get your hands on one. They used to be black, and I still have 5 or so of those but they are purplish pink now, which is annoying. Still, who cares what they look like?

Everyone (and I mean everyone - even non-guitarists) comment on how small they are, but that's what I like.

Amazing how long I can go on about a single pick...

out of curiosity, how long do picks normally last you?

and if you couldn't tell by my ridiculous question, I'm quite new.

usually about a week if I don't lose them before that

Heavyest picks I can find in the house, but I prefer heavy Fender Celluliod(or however you spell it) picks or heavy Dunlop tortex picks. 8)

88mm Green Tortex - a good meduim pick that I can dig in with

Stubby's all the way. I think the thin ones are 1.5mm. Been playing 'bout 20 years ir so.

I have a nice little pick-holder that I stick on the top of my acoustic. It holds about seven picks and keeps me from losing them. I'd definitely recommend one.
I use heavy picks, .88mm or thicker, most of the time because they're a lot more responsive when picking individual notes, and any rhythmic stuff I can still do with a heavy pick.

Seldom anything thinner than 1 mm, and those feel thin to me -- an assortments of Dunlop Gatorgrip and Stubbies, plus some Pickboy nylons and hards. As long as it's a very stiff pick, it'll work for me.

I use a fingernail file on gouged up picks to make them last longer. Then I rub them across my jeans a bunch to smooth out the edges a bit. I'm generally pretty good at keeping them, I have probably 80-85% of the 3 dozen I've bought so far.

It's all about the jazs III for me. I can't imagine playing anything else with confidence.

I hardly ever use picks, only when strumming real hard (I always break my nails when trying without picks :lol: ) I like to try different ones, but mostly it's somewhere in between .49 and .71
I like Stagg and Fender best. Or Dunlop ;)
