Members eyobeez Posted March 31, 2017 Members Share Posted March 31, 2017 Anybody have some good recommendations for mandolin picks? Also, can anybody recommend some good picking excercises/etudes/tunes for a guitarist with a lazy picking hand who would like to become decent on the mandolin? I do a lot of hybrid picking on the guitar, and I quickly discovered that the mandolin requires some solid picking technique. Thanks for reading! --E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mikeo Posted March 31, 2017 Members Share Posted March 31, 2017 When I use a pick for the guitar, I use a medium Fender 351 medium. When I play the mandolin I use the heavy gauge 351. I do not like to much flex in a mandolin pick, you let your wrist do the work. Lots of guys like a pick called the Blue Chip, including Chris Thile. They are pretty pricey.

Members Delmont Posted June 10, 2017 Members Share Posted June 10, 2017 I know it's a few months since you posted this, but just in case you're still checking back here, check out: - The Dunlop Dawg- Pro Plec- Wegen- The Alice celluloid pick They vary in price, but they're all cheaper than a Blue Chip! Keep on pluckin'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
