Honestly, I feel like many guitar players don't think enough about how much a pick changes the tone. Coming from someone who doubles on upright bass and guitar, if you compare guitars to classical strings, the pick is the equivalent to the bow. A bow can cost as much as a brand new Les Paul, sometimes even more, but they spend that kind of money because it changes the timbre. I wouldn't necessarily spend more than $10-$15 a piece on picks, but tbh if you're someone who can keep from losing them, I see no reason spending extra money on picks is any more rediculous than spending extra money on strings.

I can definitely vouch for using different picks for double tracking panned guitars. I've been doing that for years, I'll use a really heavy Petrucci flow pick on one side and a much thinner ultex sharp on the other side. It's a subtle difference but it really fills out the mix without getting unbalanced. The brass pick sounds killer, I love that little bit of cello attack!

There is something about the feel, sound, shape and size of that pick that makes it very different to any other guitar picks that I've ever used.

Very good demonstration, I have been making picks of various materials (copper, bone, old cymbals, antler etc etc )for a couple years now that I use and sell. Definitely the most use I find is in the studio to make a subtle difference in guitar tones, and sometimes it gives exactly what is needed in tone to cut through the mix. Though my everyday go to is Tortex, the tonal differences of different material picks is highly overlooked. Also, the non beveled edges on metal/copper brass etc is definitely one factor that drove me to start making my own.

Adamas picks are 2mm and made of graphite. Used by Jerry Garcia and are used by Trey Anastasio exclusively. The string response from them is great. If the edges get rough, you just rapidly slide them back and forth on low commercial carpet and the edges will be smoothed out. They are about $2.50 each but will last a very long time (I carry extras in my bag but the one that I keep in my pocket is 2 years old). Available from Amazon and I highly recommend them, if you don't mind the thickness of them.

When I was learning how to play, I naturally experimented a LOT with picks and strings, trying just about everything on the market at the time. I settled on a string brand that I felt worked best for me (D'Addario XLs), and a pick that worked best for my playing styles (Fender medium, 451 shape). Yep... Fender Mediums. Except, I use the smaller version (451) of the ones most people use. Kinda like a jazz pick size but shaped like a 351. I have used the same strings and picks for 35+ years. You can keep all these boutique picks.

Noticing a lot of chirp on the Torlon in that opening lead segment with it. How has it been on chirping? It seems the denser materials do have a tendency toward more pick chirp on the high strings, particularly with sweep picking and high gain. I can mitigate it a bit with flattening my picking angle and adjusting the treble/mids down a bit but curious to hear more from others.
@bassclef16868 күн бұрын
Just got a Torlon pick 10mm from purple plectrums. it’s got chirp that’s noticeable with the bridge pickup soloed clean with single notes. Other than that, it is a more “musical” chirp than acrylic and stands out less as a nuisance. It’s more of an added quack better for styles where you “dig in” the main draw is the feel in hand, which is awesome. I want to try it thinner to see if the chirp goes away

Question about the Hufschmid picks. I love thick picks, I adore massive acrylic picks BUT with "ghost rim" and "master finish" from v-picks and gravity picks respectively. I am addicted to the Paul Gilbert/Brian May/Dave Mustaine scratchy but clear choppy rapid fire notes on riffs and makes sweep picking sound bigger. So if you get something mad like.... their 15mm Mega Anvil, it looks insanely smooth. Does that mean the lack of texture means it will be more glassy than percussive? Is it recommended to buy a pick like this and to use a certain grit of sandpaper to do your own "master ghost" texture? I just bought a V-Picks Psycho and that's just under 6mm. Super smooth so trying to figure out what these guys do to get that texture.... The Hufschmid picks look like they only get textures for grip....

Neth BT I used those for about 20 years, and then I discovered the nylon version, which I found more grippy. A couple of years later I discovered Dunlop Primetones. They’re £3 a pop but I think they’re worth it, they last a very long time and are incredibly grippy. I use the 3mm but am considering trying the 5mm. I haven’t found anywhere that sells them singly, only in packs of 3, and I am quite stingy so £9 is quite an investment, especially if I don’t like them...

The ones I use for almost everything are the Acrylic 1A Model from Levi Valent Plectrum (should check them on FB or IG). It has 4 points to it. A "sharp round" one, a very round one, a very sharp one and a somewhat sharp one with very "wide" angle going to its tip. I normally use the sharpest one bruh... THAT SHIT HAS SOME SERIOUS ATTACK!!!! Love it for funk, djent and overall soloing. Sometimes I use the far back (the somewhat sharp) one on chord strumming cause it gives very nice overtones to them. Picks are so underrated.....
