High End Picks vs. standard picks

Dont worry to much about the differences. I mean the thickness is important, I agree. Other than that just grab a pick that you have and play some rock n roll

 

I like the grippy ones that I don't drop. Other than that, meh.

 

While I use my fingers 95% of the time, I sometimes use a thumbpick and occasionally a Dunlop Jazz III or a F1 pick.

 

Move over, brother. Red’s a mother....

 

I ordered a Z-Pick. I got one that is like a Fender medium.

Now that I have changed my technique a bit, I think I like thicker picks.

I just ordered a three pack of Dunlop 3mm picks for $9.99 plus tax. I have a 2mm Dunlop that I like. If this works out, I may get a 2.5 or 3mm Z-Pick.

These are fun to play with; they are expensive for picks, but not much "real money". I rarely lose picks, and spend very little money on myself, so why not?

 

I can really recommend these guys:

 

Me too. All the years I spent on an assembly line using air tools and the repetitive motion have taken a toll on my hands. Not to mention getting older. But I do have a hard time holding on to a guitar pick, and I've tried a bunch.

 

Bet ya wouldn’t drop this one.

 

I like 351s...med and thin.

 

I use Jazz IIIs and Prodigy 1.5s.

Guitar dependant.

 

But it beats the alternative.

 

Does that get you any extra stimulus?

 

For electric, Dunlop Jazz III XL. But I’ve been experimenting a little lately and might try some others. The Ernie Ball picks posted by @eddiewagner look interesting.

For acoustic, Dunlop max grip 1.5 or 1.14.

 

These are great for when holding a pick is actually too much work ( seriously, good for cold outdoor gigs when you can't feel your fingers/hands)

These are Herco Thumbpick/Flatpicks - perfect shape. ( I use Mediums-just a little thicker than a Fender Medium flatpick, which is my a acoustic pick choice)



But I have these mainly for fingerpicking/fingerstyle as I always use a thumbpick plus bare fingers, and with this pick shape very easy to flatpick with it too, in the same song- go back and forth

* I bring ONE of these to every gig

 

I prefer Dunlop Primetones. They have a better tone to my ear than regular tortex. I use .88s.

Tried some coin ones for a bit and it was too intense.

 

I like the ones made of Ultex, but that stuff is natural camouflage, I wish it were a brighter color so I could find them more easily.

I mostly use my fingernails.

 

I use V-Picks Screamer exclusively. Seldom drop one and they are fairly easy to find on the stage. I keep a couple of spares on my amp for easy reach
