do you guys just use one specific pick or you can use any and still play the same skill you have? I was using a dunlop tortex before and i dunno why they stopped producing it here.now i use alice(the metal one) and its hard to play.any opinions.

I use a 1mm stubby and that gives me speed and power... If I use big plectrums I get a bit sloppy. I like small pics cos it gives me an intimate feeling with the string.

I like small picks, too.
I use those small ones by fender, medium (used to use thin, but they kept breaking). I also use to scratch the surface of the pick, so it wont "move" too much when my fingers swet or i play very fast.

2.0 or 3.0 stubby for practicing my shreds, but 1.5 Gators for In Flamesish stuff, although ive been using the Stubby's for it now. .

I use the .50mm Tortex red's... and I know exactly what you mean, demondeath... there's a big learning curve with me if I try to change picks. It's like taking away a painters paintbrush, giving him a completely different brush, and expecting him to paint just as good as he did before. I wouldn't even think about changing my brush

Dunlop Jazz III black picks. Used them for over 10 years for bass and guitar, every other pick sucks in comparison. Every so often really thin picks are great for acoustic though.

i really dont know the measure of the picks. but do they have anything balanced besides from dunlop? the only ones they are selling here are.. Fender,gibson(teardrops and the big ones),alice, and some shitty local undbranded sucky picks.Break Zero said:

so u change picks once in a while? what about when youre on stage performin?
I like the Dunlop Stubby 3mm picks-the hard purple ones. I started off with lighter tortex picks, then to Dunlop Jazz III picks(which I used for YEARS)..then I picked up a stubby one day. I instantly had better control and accuracy-I found the pick I was looking for!
I actaully have a few stubbys I have been playing with for a few years that I have worn the points down on..and they still kick the butt of any other pick!
As far fast I can tell, the Stubby picks are ones that are thicker on the grip side than at the point. They are also just a bit smaller than a regular sized pick in terms of overall size.

They red ones have a smooth finish, right? I only tried one once, didn't like it as much.Evil Ernie said:
this is the stubby familydemondeath said:
From top to bottom Stubby, Big stubby, and stubby triangle
from left to right 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 mm
the measurements are determined by how thing the pick is.
