i was just curious seeing that most telecaster fans like that twangtone (me being one), so i guess the rest of you might use a very thin pick or something to get that snap you know what i mean?

dont bother asking me as i switch from pick to pick weekly. i'm a pick-a-holic :lol:
lately i've been using red tortex's though, and just tonight i picked up my v pick snake for the 10 billionth time. i garruntee you next week it'll probably be a pick made of copper or something.

so what pick do you use to get that twang?

The picks I use are medium Fender California Clears ,fender 250L .009-.042 strings with 2 American Series pickups (2 American single-coil Pickups) on a Fender American Series Tele and it deff. has a good twang to it. :)

Dunlop Gels - Med-Light (green) I like that they're still pretty flexible but substantial enough for a lot of attack when playing with a heavier hand. Sometimes I'll use picks a little heavier, but never anything thicker than a regular medium pick.

I walk up to the box of assorted picks in my local shop labelled 10 for £1 and grab a handful of whatever!

Saying that I tend to like them around the 0.7mm mark.

I like heavy Fender Classic Celluloid picks.
I prefer heavy picks, as I do not like the deflection of thinner picks, particularly "thin" picks, which are extremely flexible.
I also like the general feel of a heavy, thicker pick, in the classic Fender shape.
I hate nylon picks which tend to conform their shape to your thumb due to heat, and have a terrible feel, regardless of the thickness.

I cant do heavy pick because they feel like theyll snap my strings lol and the thin picks made it hard to get a good sound out of the strings and guitar IMO.Thats why I stick to medium picks but to each his own :)

I like 1mm nylon wedgies, which are quite heavy. I don't really look for much of a "twangy" tone, and mostly stick to the lovely warmth of the neck pickup.

I've been playing more and more with my fingers lately, I've also been trying to do hybrid picking.
