Been using Grover Allman and Dunlop Nylons for ages, enlighten me to something new please Shortscale!

Stiff, snappy, and last for ages.

Shortscale purples of course...

Previously though, Dunlop Gels - Heavy for electric, Medium-Light for Acoustic.

my new favorite. they have a pleasant, plasticky taste unlike fender extra heavies which taste like dirt.

still use nylons (.38) for my acoustic and nothing else feels as good. i might use a .46 on my electrics but i always have a .38 with me. doesn't really help you though.

Claypools. I mean Carlsbergs. I mean these.

Get a few vastly different thicknesses of a couple diff materials like acetal vs delrin. It's like having new tone controls.

Some of those thick-yet-pointy jazz picks are interesting too.

Old standbys = Dim Junlop nylon .60's and teardrop Tortex .73's.

I've started to use Jazz III's, both Ultex and regular red. I recommend them because in my experience the small size has helped me be more precise and accomodate my girly little hands. The Ultex's stick like glue as well. All regular size plectrums feel too big now.

I used to use Tortex but find they wear away far too quickly which is a shame because I love them.

i switched to ultex for a while for that same reason, but the gauge i used would split or occasionally shatter due to my heavy handedness and the next one up was a teeny bit thick for my liking. they're quite expensive too. so i'll stick with my big packet of tortex jobs til they run out...
