Pick thickness?

[Jampy]

They have the second type at my local store and I have thought about trying them out. I would likely choose the slightly rounded point ones that are largest in the photo.

Even the pointy ones will turn round in a short period of time, but I tend to play the rounded ones, may take some time to get used to but you'll never turn back.

i actually use the rounded side of the big stubby's with the pointy part pointing toward my palm/wrist....

I just started using the Dunlop Jazz III's (black). I had read such good things about them I had to try them. I really like them. Good control and they don't fall out of my fingers (yet!).

In my ignorance, I didn't realize a pick could make that much difference in sound. I had always used a Fender medium but last week picked up, by chance, a standard Dunlop nylon .80, just because of the texture and my tendency to drop the ones I had, and was quite shocked by the volume. After reading this I think I'll try some Big Stubbies and see where that goes.
Thanks guys!

I like the stubby's, but I also have been buying different thicknesses of Ice Pix Stix. They have a micro suction pad that allows you to stick them to your guitar when not in use, which is great if you want different thicknesses handy. However, the suction pad makes the pick thicker at the holding section and eliminates the movement of the pick or dropping of the pick.

I will warn you that if you think sticking them on your guitar will prevent you from misplacing them, it won't, I still lose picks.

They are the ones on the left.

I'd be worried that if I lost one of those picks, the guitar would go with it


seriously, though, that's just pretty damn neat.

what's nice about it is it sticks by suction, so there is no residue on the guitar from an adhesive. When they get dirty, just wash them off with water. A good selection of thickness also.

I use 1mm picks, from InTuneGuitarPicks

I think I'll try those ice-picks! Cool.

Currently use .73mm most of the time, sometimes something thinner, sometimes a little bit thicker. I like a thinner pick .6mm or so for strummy acoustic but am getting the feel for a thicker pick for, well, "picking".

over the last few years been listening/reading all the different types..
trying them..
But due to cheapness on my part..
Just recently realized I have settled on a pick..
I find the only one I been using the last year or so
are fender 354's in heavy.. sometimes medium..
and always cheap by the 1/2 gross
As the grandbabies steal them all the time!

Note to all:

If in need of a cheap/free pick when none can be found.

They also can be used to secure your guitar strap.

I use home made picks made out of shells I found them in only one location on the atlantic cost of France.
