Re: What Pick and why?
Dunlop Nylon .38mm, yeah the paper thin pick, that or the blue Wahbash standards, or a Fender thin (or whatever thin). Yeah, technically a thin pick moves around to much, and robs you of dynamic control, and works against economy of motion ... That being said, medium and heavy are the better picks technically (like the Jazz III)... But I like the attack of those thins (especially the .38mm), as they are very clean with hot pups, if I need more oomph of the lower strings, I'll switch to normal thins (over the super thin), they also work well for getting a brighter sound thru a dark rig with the volume turned down. I account this to the fact that they allow you to transfer a large amount of kinetic energy into attack of the string, but with no pull thru for sound you get the attack of picking hard, but without the sustain and over travel of the string ... put another way, more energy goes into the attack portion of the envelope with minimal effort, and string displacement.
