Members PuppetOfMasters Posted May 5, 2005 Members Share Posted May 5, 2005 Fender Heavys all the way for me. I cant stand light flimsy picks. I need something hard with alot of attack. And also, if I'm bored and have extra picks, I can entertain myself by setting them on fire. And boooyyyyy do these things catch fire. Pete, if you read this thread, post that video of you setting that pick on fire:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeadNight Warrior Posted May 5, 2005 Members Share Posted May 5, 2005 Jazz IIIs, both red and black, for different purposes. At the moment, I'm preferring reds though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members STEEL KAGE Posted May 5, 2005 Members Share Posted May 5, 2005 Cool Picks 1.5mm, the only thing that I can use. I used to use Jazz III as per John Petrucci( When we were friends, he wouldnt let me use anything but) Once Ralphie turned me onto the Cool Picks it was all over!!!

Members highgainlover Posted May 5, 2005 Members Share Posted May 5, 2005 These are the TWO sluts I use. Hey Kage, where do you get those "Cool" picks? Are they special order or can you find them at music stores? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and Ralph got me loving these a lot...so much that I had to stop using them and go back to Xtra Heavy Tortoise Shells. I was to the point of putting a pick with my wallet just in case there is an opportunity to jam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 5150GSX Posted May 5, 2005 Members Share Posted May 5, 2005 I used to play with a .46mm Charvel pick since I got about 200 free ones with my Jackson PC-1. After a few years of using those I realized my playing just wasn't as sharp as it should be. I went out and bought some Dunlop Gator .96mm ones and it was all uphill from there. Faster leadwork, tighter rhythms! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul J. Edwards Posted May 5, 2005 Members Share Posted May 5, 2005 Dunlop Ultex Picks and Clayton Ultem picks are very similar (same material) except for subtle features. These picks are the bomb!!! Try one and you will be hooked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Powerslave Posted May 5, 2005 Members Share Posted May 5, 2005 Blue Dunlop 1.0. It's the one I always come back to when I decide to "experiment" with style (you'd think I'd just stick to that one . . . meh). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
