Favorite Pick(s)

Re: Favorite Pick(s)

I have a few hundred picks laying around of all materials and gauges, but the vast majority of the time I am using celluloid. Fender, or Dunlop. Lately the big rounded triangle 346 style I also like the wedgie nylons.

Notre Dame. Oh wait this is guitar picks. Tortex Sharp .88 right now. It'll probably change, but they rock with bass.

dunlop tortex the green and blue ones. the huge triangle clayton 1 mm are pretty fun too. my brother got me a pack of picks that were made from old records so they have those grooves in them, they're pretty fun to mess around with. i like picks being around 1 mm, thinner for acoustics. i must have a thousand guitar picks laying around my house, but i can never find any.

I use the H-3's for everything (including mando). I don't really like the H-1's, they are too rounded. I like the sharp point, but the size is perfect. I can barely even play with a "regular sized" pick at this point, they just feel so clumsy and awkward.

I've been getting my picks from there lately. I don't really mind what material they are in, I've used bone, horn, ebony and a few other exotic woods. They are something like 2.5mm thick, which is thicker than anything else I've ever used.

They improved both my playing and my tone enormously; playing with old old Dunlop Nylon Black 1mms now feels like playing with a piece of paper by comparison.

I must be a freak... I use Clayton ultem rounded triangles .80mm, I used to use the standard ultems. For some odd reason I seem to have more control with a big ass triangle pick. I play mostly speed/thrash metal. Plus when one side wears out I can rotate it in mid riff and have a fresh tip! \m/

Here's one I bought back in the late 80's. It's an awesome pick and you can get some really good sounds with this. It's made from solid brass.
