Dunlop Tortex

Cool..thanks. Any idea on the mm?

 

[Akronaes]

Any guitarist in their right mind should use Tortex picks.

I've been using the Dunlop Big Stubby 1mm recently and have really liked them.

 

[Jock La Crotch]

Hey thanks guys. Do any of you know what size and brand of strings Opeth uses? What brand and size do you guys use?

 

[Katabasis]

D'Addario strings.

You can't go wrong.

Yeah because we don't want people doing what feels most comfortable to them, do we?
I must be in my wrong mind though, i use Dunlop Stubby 3mm and it's the best pick i've ever come across.

I have a Pickboy plec Carbon Nylon 1.14 mm
The best one I have. I also have the Jazz III Plec but it's really small.

I use Earny Ball strings 0.009, have used D'adarrio for a long time. Have no idea wich one is better.

Picks? I use Fender Mediums.

I play guitar, but the part that hits the string isn't 3mm. It thins gradually towards the point.

[AbsentFriend]

They use the black tortex ones.
