Members twotimingpete Posted May 4, 2010 Members Share Posted May 4, 2010 at some point I must have convinced myself that I prefer thicker, harder guitar picks for electric, so I've mostly used .88 nylons. not the hardest, but still fairly stiff. hard. stiff. thick. anyway, my niece decided it would be funny to put all my guitar picks in the acoustic's sound hole (and she was enjoying it so much I couldn't bear to stop her) so later on when I didn't feel like shaking an acoustic guitar upside down for an hour, I used what was nearby. a softer pick. I think I like it soft sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MrNixon Posted May 4, 2010 Members Share Posted May 4, 2010 oh on acoustic guitar, a thinner gauged pick really brings out a part of its sound spectrum that a fat pick kind of absorbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Musicscotty Posted May 4, 2010 Members Share Posted May 4, 2010 I'm more of a medium,semi floppy kind of guy. I use 0.50 picks for electric and acoustic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frets99 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I usually go hard for control but I agree, there are tonal variations to be had from different thickness and different materials! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Saturn Posted May 4, 2010 Members Share Posted May 4, 2010 I'm pretty set in my ways. Have been using the same picks for over 25 years. Fender Celluloid medium for the electrics and heavy for acoustic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fabstrat Posted May 4, 2010 Members Share Posted May 4, 2010 electrics are basically jazz III at all times, but on acoustic, i agree, a real soft pick can sound incredible when your just cowboy chordin it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members xStonr Posted May 4, 2010 Members Share Posted May 4, 2010 I've been using the Snarling Dogs Brain 1.14 picks for some time now. Besides the great name, I like the textured grippy part. Also they are bright orange and I can find them easily when I drop them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Steadfastly Posted May 4, 2010 Members Share Posted May 4, 2010 I've been using the Snarling Dogs Brain 1.14 picks for some time now. Besides the great name, I like the textured grippy part. Also they are bright orange and I can find them easily when I drop them. These are all I use. I forget what gauge they are but they are stiff and they are black. I do have a few red and yellow ones but I never use them anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Faber Posted May 4, 2010 Members Share Posted May 4, 2010 I like the thicker ones for control, but for some parts a thin flexible pick can be just the thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members craigny Posted May 4, 2010 Members Share Posted May 4, 2010 I started with the Fender Mediums, then i switched to the Dunlop Tortex. I started out with yellow .73 and Orange .60 The Orange won out, and thats all I use now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members blingdogg Posted May 4, 2010 Members Share Posted May 4, 2010 I use .73 picks these days. I find it's the best balance between floppiness and slight stiffness. I decided I don't always like it hard.That's what she said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bob411 Posted May 4, 2010 Members Share Posted May 4, 2010 Green Tortexes here. I don't have an acoustic, but I have a Boss acoustic simulator. Does that count? Does Boss make a soft pick simulator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
