I was just curious about what type of picks people on here use.

Seeing that I have mild dystonia in my right side, I actually use a big triangular pick straaped onto a old peice of protractor...........I know, bit embarasing

I use Dunlop Tortex, .50 for acoustic and I use either .50 or .60 for electric depending on the type of song I'm playing. I find a slightly stiffer pick gives me more accuracy when playing quick or complicated lines but at the cost of tone and feel.

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.

Dunlop Tortex picks, either the yellow or the orange, and/or Fender Mediums. And I won about a hundred Ernie Ball Heavy picks from the King of the Blues contest, so I use those too. I'm not too picky about what picks I use just as long as they aren't too thin.

Fender "351" Premium Celluloid, mediums for electric and for acoustic I occassionally use "Sharkfins" by JVB.

Riley have you ever tried using a thumbpick? Could be worth looking into if you're having trouble holding regular picks as they basically wrap around your thumb.

Cheers mate!

Hey riley, check out the "paddles" these guys use on their instruments. I know they are not guitars, but it does kind of open your eyes to the possibilities.

I use a brass pick. No tone like metal on metal.

Or my fingers and thumb.
