Picks

I use Herco Holy Grail picks.

I'm using Screamer V Picks lately. Definitely not cheap, but I like being able to hold on to them in an energetic performance.
Also, having three edges makes them last a long time.

Great picks, best name ever!

I switched from Clayton large rounded triangle .63 to Bog Street Axe Cut mediums, which are very ergonomic, have a .6 flex tip and two 2mm chisel tips. They are easy to hold on to.

I never could bond with those, but wanted to. They inspired me to try the max grip jazz III the other day, and like them a lot.

Nothing out there beats a Blue Chip IMO...especially for acoustics/mandos. They are my all time favorite pick to use...
the tone, feel, pick noise are at the top of the game...but alas have lost the three I have owned, lol. Found a much cheaper alternative with the Dunlop Primetones that while arent quite as good, do the job well. I also enjoy my Wegen blacks...all in the larger triangle size in 1.4mm.

My favorite as well. Tried a lot of picks but my dry fingers are slippery. Dava are easy to hang onto.

Leaning toward grippy types and these are most often used.

Our local, Rainbow Guitars, is still in quarantine lockdown it seems, which is a problem because I used to go in and try various picks and then buy several of each that I liked. I have the problem of my fingers being so dry that picks tend to rotate as I use them, so I like to try out various surfaces but even if I find one that I can hold I may not like the sound. Lately I've been using the D'Addario Black Ice 1.5mm and taking some rough sandpaper and texturizing the surface. The Black Ice give a nice mellow tone, and if I need something snappier I usually change to a Jazz III or a Gator Grip in a thickness and shape that fits the situation.

Nicely organized! I just throw mine in various Altoids tins.

I just got a Bluechip TD40. I love it. Certainly sounds great, and I love the grippiness of it. I was using Dunlop Flow 1.0, and definitely prefer the grip of the TD40.

I just did this recently. They were all in a pick pool (bowl) and I wanted to see what I had easily and wasn’t using the container for anything else.

Umm…

LOL. Well, if he wants to change it up from when I got that hot tip in the 90s, I'm not sure I can stop him.

Fender Medium is all I need.

I think that's the model I have, that I can't stand. Forum bro discount price if you want it. Might have a few other Vpicks available as well, if anyone uses other styles. I really liked a few of them and they are fast, but I can't get past the chirp and have others I like better.
