Poll: What are your favorite picks?

[mjtripper]

I just switched from jazz iii to the jazz iii xl. Same pick only bigger, I got them by accident and ended up liking them better.

I really like dunlop speedpick .96. Easy fast picking and ubelievable clear notes . And they do not wear fast.

I'm curiuos how the Jazz III would compare to it - I never had a chance to try one, cause neither of my two local guitar stores carries have them in stock currently .

Mostly Fender Californias - medium. Dunlop gators and big stubby.

Jellifish anyone?

The Jellifish looks interesting. Anyone try one out?

[potato]

yeah i tied it wasnt impressed at all

Dunlop nylon .88 trimmed to a point, bevels shaved on opposing edges when I'm playing. Thick dark purple Dunlops, tultex maybe, stiff as a quarter,cut and shaved the same way when I'm practicing. Started with Fender thins as a kid. Made me pick way too hard. The purples are behavior modification. I shave them similar to a stylus pick to quiet the "shick".

got a bunch of picks from my local music store.. love 'em
i use thin picks, no thicker than 1mm..
i find 1mm too thick for 9s , everytime i use a 1mm i have this "im gonna rip my strings any minute now" feeling.

Sounds like you tend to pick hard too. Hard habit to break. I play .008's. Not into the drop tunings and super high action. Whole game changed when I started soloing.

yep i do pick my strings too hard.. and i havent noticed it untill u posted this reply

its a habit because i started out with thin picks.. and now i tried a thick pick and not picking too hard and it was so much easier to play faster.. also palm muting sounds much better.. bye bye thin picks

[shredmonster]

Red Jazz III

[Seventh Avenged]

Dunlop Tortex 1mm.

none of those Jazz II or IIIs for me.

i shred with normal triangular picks, haha.

[MadJack]

i started out with thin picks..

Glad I could help. Ya may break a few strings but soon you'll just be using the tip of the pick. No wasted motion=speed. Btw, keep a bag of ice handy for your forearm/wrist.

Clayton .63mm nice semi-abrasive finish for grip, not to floppy, not too rigid.

[jacflash]

Orange Dunlop Tortex, in the classic shape. Second choice is green Tortex, same shape.

[Sunbane]

I now went to Fender 1.14 XH.
They're a little larger than the Dunlops, so I get more stability and a little better grip.
