pick preference?

[NJjoanjettfan]

For me plain old Fender Thin and Mediums do the trick. Find I split the Thins but since I buy a dozen or more at a time it's worth it.

purple totex picks fo me.

[Noirie.]

dunlop tortex 0.73 mm yellow shortscale dot org picks

Good for strumming and leady shite.

[serfx]

i use tortex yellow shortscale dot org picks to create noize.. with electric guitars
and tortex orange shortscale dot org picks for acoustic.

[roachello]

Green Tortex!

Anything else is just slips off. I also enjoy the ones in the sharkfin shape for precision!

[Mike]

I'm a green tortex person.

[Progrockabuse]

purple tortex every time. can't remember the gauge. 1.2mm?

and fingers.

probably 40%fingers 60% pick in a gig.

[benecol]

Dava control picks, Black Dunlop Match Piks (I just never drop them) and, for those really special TGP moments, my Country Music Hall of Fame plectrum (but this necessitates me deactivating the alarm and unlocking the display cabinet).

[Progrockabuse]

did you catch it from brad Paisley?

[James]

I tried some of the Dava Control ones when staying with Dots. They seem too thin. Even held in a way to mak ethem feel thicker they're quite thin feeling. It seemed like they couldn't get up to the feel of 0.7mm yellow tortex.

[Progrockabuse]

i liked the dava one that have a metal tip, felt really nice. and didn't look as twee as using these

[benecol]

That's odd - they feel pretty thick to me. It's important to note that my main qualification for a plectrum is that it's hard to drop.

IMMATUREBENECOLFACT: There used to be these dicks that turned up to the improvised music workshop I go to (they'd turn up late, play over people constantly, never leave space for other musicians and always revert to the same sub-Thurston noisefest). One asked me if he could borrow a plectrum; at the end of the session he gave it back, broken, and said, smirking "Sorry, it's a bit broken - I hold them in my mouth when I'm not playing". I replied, witty as all-get-out "That's OK - I hold them in my bum".

[wilrecar77]

I usually use the green or blue gator grip picks. If a pick is floppy i can hardly play with it.

[lorez]

I've always used the Dunlop 500 .96mm picks for electric and .5 for acoustic. I just like the different shades of pink I guess

[kim]

dunlop nylon glow in the dark 1.14



my favs, but lately i just grab whatever is lying around as long as it's not too thin (min 0.76)

[stewart]

It's important to note that my main qualification for a plectrum is that it's hard to drop.

stick a square of double sided tape on it and you'll be dandy. trouble is it goes manky and leaves black marks on your fingers, but that's a small price to pay for perma-grip-ness.

the day i forget to take my trusty roll of tape to a gig is the day i'll suffer my first nervous breakdown, as i scrabble around the stage in the dark, going "I DROP PLECTUAMS, ARG" and crying about how sore my hand is from having to grip the fuckers really hard.
