  • Picks. What do you use?

    Recent happenings have had me start to question so many of my guitar habits. Picks for example. All through my gigging years i used nothing but orange 0.6mm tortex picks. Bit thin for most people but I liked the give in them for the punky bashing that was most of my band's output. For the last 10 years or so of mainly acoustic playing I've been on 0.73mm tortex yellows but I just bought a load of purple 1.14 ones which i'm finding I really like.

    I sometimes play with a thumb pick too although the short-lived metal finger-picks experiment is largely over.

    Interested to see what others are using and why.

  • Pickboy carbon nylon 1mm for me. Very stiff/direct feeling and nicely grippy.

    I used to use yellow tortex but had one too many flip out of my fingers and off the stage so tried an assortment box from somewhere and realised I much prefer a hard pick.
