I have been playing (just for fun) for about 15 years. During which I have tried countless different types of guitar picks.

Recently I’m gravitating towards really thick picks, like the well-known Jazz III or Big Stubby 3.0mm. I’ve noticed I can play fast alternate picking and triplets much easier with these.

What types of picks do you use, and why?

    I’ve been using the Dunlop tortex picks for years. I generally go with .73mm, .88mm, or 1mm. I’m not sure they have any impact on the sound but I like the texture, it isn’t just a matte finish, it’s almost velvety.

    I use the red max grip version of the Jazz III. I definitely don’t even think about using larger picks anymore, except on bass where I prefer a standard medium pick when playing pick style.

    I had used Bog Street picks for about a year before switching, and I still like them quite a lot.
