How Thick's Your Pick

[sunvalleylaw]

I use the ones he first designed. I have no idea what the model is called. It's the one pictured at the top of his website.

After I got those, he started doing a whole bunch of other ones.

I don't know the names either, but that is the one I like best overall. I like the rounded version for strumming, as it has very little string noise, but I feel like I am cheating on my technique. He also sent me a thinner one in the style you like, but that one is not all that special to me. I like the Dunlop Ultex 1.0s or Fender Heavy picks just as well as that one. Marnold, I agree with you that the grip is a big part of it.

It seems that I keep increasing the preferred thickness of the picks I prefer.

I use to like in the range of .60, but now prefer the range of 2. to 3. (Big Stubby).

I also have a pick that I bought some time ago and didn't really use until last night. I didn't know what kind it was until I Googled it this morning (it's marked with 208USA). I may buy some more since now that I am using it, I am sure to lose it.

I also use a V pick occasionally (medium rounded and pointed)
