Picks

[FC]

dunlop 1m nylon, perfect, big, soft but rigid enough for good note definition and picking accuracy.

This is my choice too.

EDIT: Aw, this thread is old and I am repeating myself.

omg those tortex picks look insane whats with all the gripping in the left side?

Jazz III picks are awesome, everyone is ought to have one.

I neglected to mention that they are called 'Fins'. I don't know why they are so hard to find. The nylon version has been around for over 25 years. They are versatile, I recommend them. A quick turn and you have, in effect, a lighter pick. The ridges are for raking and scraping.

Aletas. But you will be better off searching by part number, they are the same in English and Spanish.

Lol, the problem with translations in music terms is that we don't make direct translations.

for example

pick = espiga, plumilla

and

espiga = spike, pin

plumilla = feather, nib

so

fin might be someting like dart or something stupid =(

Hahaha, that is why I use part numbers. No confusion there.

I have the solid purple ones(1.xx mm) and the see thru yellow ones(xh) anything less feels like a joke to me. I even use a bug stubby some times. Anyone every tries a jellyfish? Saw one today. $8 for a pic seems nuts but I am intrigued.

 All what you practice with and get used to ....  and not all thumb picks are super thick ... there are some nice pick shaped thin ones too ...

They are Ultex, and sharp.

here's my pick, cost 10 aussie cents each, and they'll pretty much never wear out... not entirely sure what they're made from, i think nickel, but it works for me =p


yes... i realise this might be taking the Brian May die hard fan thing a bit too far, but since i started using a coin, i've found them to be much easier to hold and play with than a plastic pick, at least i'm not trying to be like Brian May anymore but instead trying to create my own sounds and stuff with a bit of Brian influence

i see some serious love for the jazz III on here. i also use them and for a bit softer sound i also use planet waves "Black Ice" which are a jazz pic but a little larger than the Jazz III and made from a tortex type material. the attack is sortta round with em and the bass real pops in the notes they also come in light mediun and heavy or X-heavy.

Dunno, maybe if you file it to have a pick shape.
