What kind of pick do you use?

New Guitar Day? Obsessed with tone? 10 on the volume dial not enough? Celestion vs. Electrovoice? Cum in, feel the noize.

Since they don't make a teardrop stamp, and that's what I was using at the time, I didn't get one. I'm going to look into it now that I've settled on a different shape. I believe they sell the plastic sheets as well. Or that the least you should be able to source that stuff at any home repair store.

I bought a packet each of three different Tortex picks about a decade ago and I'm still using them. Picks aren't a huge expense at my place. :biggrin:

True temperament frets really are a terrible solution to a problem that didn't exist.

Oh believe me, there are thousands of people trading in that snake oil. It's one thing knowing tuning temperament issues exists and why and another altogether saying you can fix it if you buy their junk....

I used the Dunlop 2.0 or the 1.5's, depending on what was available. I don't choke up on the pick, I used heavy-ish strings and I was playing relatively fast, note-heavy stuff. I really hated picks that would flex.

And these plectrums just arrived on my desk. That's a great service.

I'm generally pretty good at looking after plectrums. I've got loads of them in my guitar case - I use Gravity Sunrise nearly all the time now though and those ones have worn down quite a lot. I have lost my 3mm dragon heart though which is annoying, as its my 2nd favourite and I find it really good for tight rhythm playing.

I wont use a pick that has any flex in it. Currently I am making my own out of old piano keys. (The white bits...:)..)
