ok friends- i used to use medium fender picks. these old hands felt a little sore, so i tried fender light picks. a definite improvement, but i feel i need something in between.

does fender indicate anywhere the gauge of the picks? or perhaps somebody knows?

i need to get some new picks soon, and i know other companies indicate the size on the picks.

dunlop nylon pick are what i use they have a good range of sizes, i find light fender picks break easy

go to your local store and see what feels right, but nylons are my suggestion

Hmm. 'Ain't no little kid by any stretch, and...

...mostly use Fender Heavy, but that's for mostly single-note / partial chord melody line stuff. Thinner ones sound "snap-click-y" and not articulate, to these ears.

Are you strumming a bunch with the with the "light-medium" picks?

I'd try some Dunlops. You can get exactly what you want, instead of having to pick from three choices.

I like the Dunlop Tortex line. The thicknesses are expressed in guages and the guages are colour coded and there are enough guages available to suit almost anyone. I like the orange ones for electric and the red ones for acoustic.

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.

i like the dunlop .73's i find theres a little bit of flex but maintain good response to note work.
