Blue Tortex (1.00) for me on electrics, and occasionally the Green ones for acoustic when I want a bit more 'snap' in the tone.
I use a variety of picks between 3mm and 6mm
Anything less than 3mm is limp-wristed and girly
Ooops, I forgot there's a small version, I'm using the "Big Stubby".Originally Posted by barney.
Maybe I should try the small ones.
6mm!

They even have one at 11.85mm!
What? Surely that doesnt fit between the strings.
No Forbidding Allowed

Buck and fugger! That wouldn't even fit between the bloody strings! Think I'll stick with the 1.5 gators, nice and thick in the middle where I hold it, then beveled off right at the edges so there's a decent picking edge

wow, thats mental.
Interesting. I find that thinner picks suit me OK, mind you I am not much of a shredder to be honest.
Paul Gilbert switched to thinner picks for a while and he seemed to have no problems in playing fast......
Like I say, I know it's personal preference but just getting the general concensus on this. I remember when I first started playing guitar I used a Dunlop Nylon .60mm pick as it was all I could get at the time. My guitar tutor told me that it was no good and he gave me a .88 Tortex pick to use. I often wonder where some people get their "thicker picks are better" notions from. What works for one person surely doesn't mean it'll work for everyone.
