I use mostly .88mm cat tongue picks. I sweat a lot and these are the only picks I don't lose grip on.
I use them on everything.
Except when I feel frisky, I'll use a .44mm Dunlop pick for barre chords on my Jaguar. It kills the the twang.

Just ordered some tri stubbys to try out :evil:


bone toanz are, to me, more full sounding and warmer. there is a scooch of string noise though.

if you want a fuller sound without the noise, horn picks work as well.

imo pick material is a somewhat underrated means of changing your tone a bit

idk about any makers. i got mine from a local guitar shop, not a chain. idk if GC or Sam Ash sell them

its also worth noting that if you're prone to losing picks, they're not for you since they cost like 5-8 bucks. but i like it. they're super chunky and basically can't break

Black nylon Dunlop 1mm for Guitar, Purple Dunlop tortex 1.14mm for Baritone and fingers on Bass...

One thing I learned from that douche who slept with Rebecca Dirks is to sharpen my guitar ones slightly by rubbing them on the carpet...

TWSS anyway...

Now I roll my own out of .80 polycarbonate.

The lady uses these, 1.38mm

Image

I use these when I play her guitar, which is every time I switch her effects board around, which is often.

1.0mm, 1.14mm, and 1.40mm, depending on my mood or what effects are engaged.

Sounds real nice and scratchy. Sometimes I'll go with a 2005, but the 2007's seem to grip a bit better.

Switched to these a few yrs ago:

Took me a while to get used to them, but no way I'd go back to ordinary picks now.

I went from using Planet Waves delflex .76mm for years to using nothing but Gravity Picks 1.1 or 1.5mm big mini Razer. They just sound and feel perfect for me.
