Pick survey...

[robinje]

Which picks do you like to use with your Ric 6-string guitar? I've used Fender Medium tortise flat picks and like 'em okay, but they seem to wear out pretty quickly. I do like the bright tone and feel, and would like something similar (or with even brighter attack) but lasts longer. Any suggestions?

Pyramids and I have some of these like John lennon Used.

For guitar, Fender vintage-celluloid-style heavies, regular shape or equivalent for me. I use the soft corners for strumming and the point for picking. Just bought a dozen red sparkly ones. Alaska fingerpicks or acrylic nails for fingerstyle, with a Golden Gate thumpick (point somewhat shortened). Alternate thumbpicks: Zookies M30, Jim Dunlop metal thumbpick. For bass, an oversize triangular pick of 1.5 mm or better. Check 'em all out! The acrylic nails are awesome.

Only the best......

Solid silver .60mm.

Dunlop 1.14mm Delrins.

I use Fender Mediums - the feel and flexibility of celluloid has yet to be improved upon, IMO.

Dunlop Tortex/Delrin .50mm (the red ones). They're too big, so I trim them down to a teardrop shape and round off the end. Tortex lasts forever and they are plenty bright.

I use the orange Tortex, I think they are 0.50mm.

Dunlop 1.14mm Delrins.

That's the width I use as well.

I get them exclusively from www.intunegp.com with my custom printing on them. Great service, great owner. Check out his client list! When I still lived in VA I would stop by his shop when I could. It's in a pretty remote part of the state. I miss being able to pop in there.

Regular celluloid mediums. I like Tortex and its analogs (in heavier gauges) for bass, but nothing feels as good as celluloid for guitar.

That said, I have a bunch of slighly heavier plastic picks that came with some Eminence speakers I bought. Not my favorites but they seem to always be around. They are a little stiffer than I prefer, although they are good for acoustic guitar, which I tend to play harder.

I'm not picky (pun intended). As long as it's a medium, I'm happy.

I got one as a freebie from Steve Lasko when I ordered my Jangle Box. It's pretty light, maybe about 0.60 - 0.73 mm perhaps. It feels like one of those Dunlop Tortex plectra. I also use 2 Dunlop 0.18 mm finger picks worn on my middle and ring fingers.

Careful, Scotty. You'll pull brain matter out that way.
