Plectrums/Plectra/Picks

[Peter Antal]

+1 to stone picks, I use a teardrop style grip pick - it's smoooooth... I also like Wegen picks, I have a set of 3-mm Twins.

[PoshCollins]

My signature pick.

Tortex green ftw, I think they're .88mm which feels perfect to me.

Fender confetti mediums for single coils and Green tortex for humbuckers

[Woogie]

Fender heavy all the way. The Gibson mediums feel quite sweet aswell.

I buy 2mm Stubbies in bulk, they wear down so damn quickly - Are the Ultex Jazz IIIs longer lasting?

They last me for ages.......

They lose their point in like 30 mins of play =/

Dunlop Jazz  III's here. I think they help my speed, don't know, i just like them.

Though sometimes i like a certain deep blue cheapo Stagg one that i've had for a long time, but i always go back to the Jazz III.

I used a jazz III for the longest time, but I tried out a fender (i think) 0.73mm and realized that everything sounds brighter and a little more articulated with it, and there's less of a pick attack.
So I'm only using the jazz III for heavy stuff now :D
the 0.73mm won't push around my 7th string like a thick jazz III or a ibanez paulgilbert :D

Used to be a Tortex Sharp (white), now I'm using a Jazz 3 (red)

[MDV]

Dunlop Ultex Jazz III for me.  Bite and speed  :twisted:

Thems my picks too.

Great stuff. Precise, low wear.

I've used Dunlop Tortex reds for about 10 years solid now. I tend to hit a guitar quite hard, so .50 is enough for me.

I may take a look at the Ultex Jazz III's though.

[plastercaster]

I love Jazz IIIs, but the XLs are too hard to come across and are nylon so wear down fast.
I use Tortex .73mm usually (yellow)

[maverickf1jockey]

Big Stubby 3mm all the way. 8)
+1 on them wearing down though.
Whack on some .11 D'Addario strings and I could just shred for hours (then I'd probably need to replace the plectrum in an ideal world... ).

This is a great way to freak out acoustic players as I use them for acoustic too (but with .12s this time) and I have a very aggressive picking style. Watching me play guitar must be like watching listening to somebody tuning in that respect...

i didn't know you could get ultex jazz IIIs, that's interesting. I use gator grip 1.5mm picks... they aren't too slippy, and have lowish wear. ultexes have less wear, but they don't come thick enough, and feel a little "big"... but those ultex jazz IIIs may sort that out. still perhaps a little slippy though. for the cost of a pick, though, might as well try one.  :lol:

I have yet to find a good pick to use.

Metal, 11 gauge, dunno what would suit that. Or least haven't found one that does. I just use the BKP ones currently.
