Let's Talk About Picks

A deep dive into one of the most overlooked factors of good tone...guitar picks. We talk about why pick selection matters, the different types and thicknesses of picks, the different application for certain picks and I even reveal my all time FAVORITE pick to have in my pocket. Ok guitar nerds, this is everything you've ever wanted to know about picks.

The Eric Johnson nylon picks have a rough edge on them(injection molding flash), but the guy can play.

Green .88 is my go-to as well. I've been considering a blue chip 35.

I’m really liking the 1.0 blue Dunlop..

[@bigbassjonz]

Also, I'm pretty sure the Dunlop .88s are designed to just disappear after a few plays.

i've been using the same hard rock cafe picks for like 4 years LOL maybe it's time to get some new ones...

Hey, what strings size do you use??

[@alaskamusiclife1161]

I tend to keep 10’s on my electrics and 12’s (EJ16) on my acoustics. Occasionally I’ll put mediums (13’s) on my big Martin dreadnaught, but the added tone isn’t worth the damage it does to my fingers when playing for multiple hours at a time.

@@alaskamusiclife1161 okay thanks man, have you ever used the medium/lights (12-56)? the bluegrass ones?

[@alaskamusiclife1161]

@@Imjaywms I have, I prefer less bass if I’m singing along with my guitar, but If it’s purely bluegrass instrumental then a big bottom end is nice.
