I’m not very choosy as to picks, but lately I have enjoyed the Dunlop Flows .88 and 1.0.
And the red Dunlop Jazz III is still one of my favourites.

What pick do you pick when you pick a pick for your picking?

Ya stole my thunder, fro! Well, I do love my silver picks!
But my standard go-to pick for acoustic is a Nylon Cat's-Tongue/Brain pick,114 mm.

Blue Chip and Charmed Life casein. Charmed Life preferred for the mandolins.

Tom,
Remeber what Zuzu's teacher said. "Every time a bell rings, a guitar player loses a pick".

I was a die-hard Jim Dunlop .60mm nylon user for many years - yes, the grey ones are good BUT the special gold anniversary ones are even better! I think the mold they used for these gold ones was much fresher and the little grip dimples were just slightly more prominent, they are fantastic!
But then I bought my SJ-200 and the nylons were suddenly too dark - I sat down and tried dozens of different picks - the one I kept coming back to was the Strings & Beyond black 'T' thin celluloid pick.

I get bags of 100 extra heavy celluloid teardrops frm China on Ebay. They's stupid cheap and the work for me, I get more "click" than with nylon or tortex picks, and that works well for me and the music I play.
With the silver picks, the metal expands as it warms up between my fingers and produces a nice tone.

I love this thought that the human body can perceive this kind of fractional variation is HYSTERICAL to me.... Maybe you just play better as you warm up?? C'mon dread... work with me on this!!!

I use the .60mm grey Dunlops because they sound better than the other colours, and their shade of grey makes my hazel-green eyes really pop.

There's no better reason than that!
The human fingers can feel 1/10,000" of movement.

I use 1 mm to 1.5 mm picks. My favorite is the Martin Luxe pick at about $20. All the others are basically backup, whether they are Dunlop, Ernie Ball, or John Pearse. I have no use for anything thinner than a .73 mm. People think my guitars are loud, but I know that the pick selection results in a high volume tone.

Dunlop "Gators" .96mm or 1.14mm. They work well on the Mandolin too.

If I had a "dinner" from McDonalds, would you suggest that I be called Donald?
Until I decide otherwise, I just prefer that you stick with RBSinTo.

Relax, it's all in fun.
Just kidding around.

Wow, 95% are using picks thinner than 0,88mm or so. I didn’t do that for years. I have to try again!
