What picks do you use?

[Aghasura]

I often prefer the tone of thinner picks but like the playability of thicker ones (4mm and up). So For tone, the Jazz is always a good option. For playability, I dig quite a few of them out there. I use a few of the big v picks often, like the unbuffed pointed snake.

After trying the whole Jazz line and a couple of V-Picks for about 2 years I've found my pick: Black Ice .80

They don't last long but stick nicely to my sweaty, greasy fingertips and glide through the strings just the way I like it.

Been rocking the Clayton Acetal Triangles 1.0mms for a good while now. Decided that anything less than 1mm was too floppy, and anything more was a bitch to use with lower string gauges.

The Black Ice picks are nice, I like them, too as they are very similar to the Tortex Jazz III picks which are my favorite.

I'm now into Black Ice 1.10mm. Was using 1.50mm but they are too stiff for my taste, I love the snap they have though, but 1.10mm just feels better for me.

I never really got into Jazz III's, they are nice picks but a little small for my chubby hands lol the Black Ice picks are just a hair bigger and they acommodate much better to my playing.

Dava picks are also very nice, but they don't last long, and the rubber can sometimes come off and feel weird...happened to me at least.

Tortex Jazz are also nice, albeit a little to hard on the edges IMO.

To each it's own I guess ha!

Gravity picks sunrise jazz size 1.5mm Love those picks, but the price really kills me.

I'm really enjoying my Dunlop TIII .88mm

 

[TheWarAgainstTime]

Been using the .88mm Dunlop Tortex Sharp picks for a few months now and I prefer them over the 1.14mm ones I was using before because they have a more defined attack while still being pretty stiff.

Jazz III XL Tortex 1.5mm. Amazing get that awesome Jazz III shape in a size that fits. I these are great from Prog metal and shredding stuff, also killer if you need to track some bass.

Only a little stiff for acoustic or really strummy stuff, I use a dunlop max grip .88

Lately I've been flopping back and forth between v picks (pointed snake, unbuffed) and a jazz 3 Xl. Talk about night and day.

Used to use Jazz III, then moved over to Black Ice Medium.

Damn, using these things for over a year. New record for me.

Still use the Acetals, as well as the Delrins. Because they're blue.

EDIT: Actually, almost 2 years? I don't remember exactly but I think I started using the Acetals around late 2014.

I used to play on John Petrucci Jazz III. Now i'm on Winspear. The difference is insane.
