But you use only one don't you? Thats the one you keep losing. If you're not losing your other pics constantly means you're partial to your pics. But who isn't
@@capybaraville there aren't many documented electric guitars from that period, do you have some niche historical info that the rest of us are missing?
@@347Jimmy i missed the word "electric" so my sincerest apologies, and i guess that makes my reply meaningless so yeah :( however they were playing with picks on classical/acoustic guitars so that's what i wanted to say
@@thestupidteenager2821 yeah I use to use the standards before but they are a bit slippery so I always manage to drop them (I mostly play deathcore, black metal or hardcore punk)
@@doriank6773 Understandable those genres require a lot of hard picking. I’m a blues guy so I play like one note every 10 seconds so slipperiness isn’t really a risk.
I usually play my bass with my fingers but when I want to use a pick it is always a 0.60mm nylon. I have some 0.73mm nylons and a handful of thicker tortex of various shapes for variety while recording. But my go-to is always 0.60mm nylon. Fresh nickel roundwound strings on a Jazz bass with that pick is one of my favorite sounds.
Jazz III XL is the way to go for me… never knew a pick could make such a huge difference in the way I play the guitar, the size and thickness of the pick is perfect for my style.
I use this one Dunlop tortex jazz 3 1.14mm pick that I randomly found in a variety pack. There weren’t anymore and I’ve lost it 3 times but always find it again it appears in my bed every now and then. I guess it’s for jazz but that’s not important
While I’ve been experimenting with the Dunlop Flow ever since I found one on the floor at work, my main pick of choice is the Ultex 2mm. I can make pretty much any pick work, I’ve even used polished stones and glass, but I keep returning to this one. Highly recommend for those playing heavier genre strumming, or really leaning into notes while soloing.
I've been using a 2mm pick that came as a bonus from my guitar strap for almost 2 years, I've been searching for a similar one that has the same feel but I still haven't found any. The pick is now so dull, the (once) sharp edge is now duller than the dull edge, but I still love using it so much, and I genuinely freak out when it disappears.
I use an actual tortoise shell pick and it's a beautiful thing. If you ever get the chance, get one. The synthetic doesn't even compare. It gives you a more rounded tone.
Nylon Jazz 3's are great and easy to find, recently found some Dunlop tortex h3's that are a bit thinner that I really dig, but my favorite guitar pick was a Clayton coconut shell guitar pick. I have frustratingly smooth fingers, apparently, and while standard grippy picks seemed to not help that much, the curve of those picks helped me so damn much! They also sounded REALLY good, they had a great attack, nice release from the strings, seemed to give a really booming low-mid thump with each stroke without it being overpowering. Kind of pricey and hard to find, but I like them a lot for metal. They were serviceable for clean or acoustic, but if that's what I was trying to play, I'd prefer something thinner.
I like the Ultex Hetfield Black Fangs and Tortex 1.0mm sharps. I've been using the Tortex sharps since the 1990s. My daughter is 11, and she likes Ernie Ball Ever-Last .73mm due to the grip and medium stiffness.
I prefer the Big Stubby 3mm picks. Ive used them since i was a kid and cant stand anything else unless im doing alot of strumming ill use something lighter.
For acoustic and clean guitar tones I use a nylon 0.88 pick. For gain or overdriven tones I use a 0.88 or an alice 1mm chode pick. And for distortion I use jazz picks or an alice chode pick, either 1mm or 2mm
Jazz III Carbon Fiber with grip texture. I used exactly one pick for a solid year and only replaced it because the grip texture wore away and I need that since losing a bit of my thumb (the pick rotates). If you don't care about the grip, these are picks you can leave to your grandchildren.
@@cesarcastillo7129 kind of. I'm not a shredder that's for sure lol. I'm more of a finger style player. I don't use a pick at all when I'm playing rhythm. I use them on the leads I do play, but lead isn't really my strong suit.
Regular picks are way oversized for me, Jazz III and just a little nub sticking out. If I have to use a jumbo pick I'll hold it in the middle (tried cutting them but it's not great)
I use the jazz 3 and jazz 3 xl ultex picks, they are a medium thickness but have a stiffness similar to a high gauge pick, so gives me the same level attack on a thinner pick thats less likely to destroy my strings (then again i use 13.5 to 54 strings so thats not gonna happen anyways lmfao)
