I prefer a heavier, pointy pick that wears like iron. Can't go wrong with the Dunlop Ultex stuff.
I bought a guitar from Brent last year and requested some swag, picks in particular, and he sent me quite a surprising assortment. I like the Big Stubby 3.0.
One of the things I do at NAMM is try picks from just about everyone. Some noteworthy picks-
Graphtech, they use that nut material, traditional shape.
Kemper had some good picks as a giveaway, they are alot like the dunlop green tortex ( .88). I got handfuls of those. Profiling picks, anyone?
I ran into the guy that makes the Swiss Picks. They are surprising good!
Since I go home from NAMM with over a 100 picks I can use, you would think I don't really need to buy anything, and then replenish at next years show...
However, the guys that really take care of me are the folks from Clayton. They outfitted me with the Spike Picks made with Ultem. I use both Standard Spike and Teardrop Spike shapes in .80mm. I buy enough at the show to last a year. They also turned me on to the Nu Stone Standard X-Heavy. It is a standard shape with a bit of a point. Made from protein, supposed to mimic original tortoiseshell. Awesome for playing acoustic, too. Great feel, but expensive @ $7 per.
