Re: What size picks do you use?
Jaganath - I've found its easier to do trem picking on thicker picks because they dont bend and slow you down
you could try a Jazz III. they are thick and also really small - which will help because they force you to play correctly
by this i mean you cant "dig in" far, you have to use the tip of the pick, which is the only way you can pick fast.

.60 Tortex sometimes .73 , I don't drop um as much as others, and im mostly strumming so i don't need anything too thick, pretty good wearing too, and they are a bright colour so when i do drop them i can usually find them.

i use fender heavies- i like the smooth plastic feel, dont know what theyre made of or what thickness. Does dunlop make a shiny plastic thick pick that may be good?

Dunlop Gels.
I used to use the Fender picks, but when I moved the local shops I went to didn't carry them, but the Dunlop Gels seem almost identical to me, so I used them for years until I switched to the Tortex and Ultex.

Dunlop Jazztone 205's. The best picks ever. Replaced the Jazz lll's that I used for my whole life. Smoother sounding, less "click", less slip.
If you like to play lead or fast single note lines, you owe it to yourself to try these out.
Simply the best I've ever tried. I'll never go back.

Re: What size picks do you use?
Me, too. I still haven't jammed with anyone who likes their picks as thick as I do.
For picks, I always prefer the heaviest f*cking things I can find. I still don't know of anything heavier than a 2.0 mm. Does anyone?
Also, I can't figure out why so many people like Tortex. Gators give you a much more solid grip... I find my fingers almost never slip on Gators.
BTW - I also play bass and light or medium guage picks don't cut it with bass strings.
