and why?
>thinfag here
Depends on what you're playing.

Those small thick picks for anything electric. Anything else just slows you down, especially if you're trying to go full Fripp (and failing) like me
For acoustic, thin to medium. Heavy kills the sound
for classic, either grow your nails or just stop

thank you. keep trying, you'll be full Fripp someday.

>implying that is humanly possible
the wigger made guitar playing into some way of life and created a whole meditation system around it fuck
Ive found medium the best all arounder. Thin is just too floppy for heavier attack and medium can hit pinch harmonics well.

What are you talking about, frippertronics?
>>64207349
No, more his insane, ConstruKction-era alternate picking no hammer-on-allowed solos where he would keep the same insane playing speed for some 5 minutes without break
though I'd love to know how to do something like his frippertronics, or rather his later soundscapes
fuckin plebs
small and thick. thin picks are unreliable, thin/medium are good for playing rhythm but that's it.
try a jazz 3. once you get used to it you won't be able to use anything else and normal sized picks will feel like you're holding a spoon

I favor fingerstyle, but you never use a pick?
>>64207154
heh
heavy
more control and better for picking out individual strings.
also thin picks tend to have a thin sound to my ears.

I Travis Pick acoustic but prefer a pick for electric.
I have messed around with these things but never really got the hang of them
Rhythm? Thin
Lead? Medium-Heavy. Like .60 or .72 mm.
Combo of both? I usually "choke up" on a thin.
Dunlop Jazz III's 4 lyfe, niggaz
use a penny
2 mm because I play the bass
I'm more of a fan of those big triangular picks, because I have huge hands and they fit mine better than normal sized ones.
As to thickness, I prefer around 1.5mm for these picks and medium ones if I'm using normal ones

This for acoustic, but I use picks for electric.
I have both thin and thick picks, though I prefer thin ones like .60 for rhythm.
1 mm and 0.6mm
Thick because I'm not a faggot

I have a Fender medium pick like that, I call it the Dorito
bassfag here. triangular .80mm clayton picks of choice.

I usually fold paper and use that as a guitar pick. Provides the twangy sound I like
3.5mm
Anywhere between 1 and 1.5 mm is good. Less than 1 is floppy, over 1.5 is cumbersome.
Personally I hate the feel of nylon picks and the way the edges wear down. Tortex is the best material
>>64207091
play with medium for a week and you will not want to go back to thin
>>64208284
this, real nigga picks, red coz i'm str8 crippin.
>>64208298
Kill urself my man
I have a wooden guitar pick made of ebony wood
it's kinda bulky and shitty but my grandfather made it for me so I use it anyway
>>64208284
this 2bh

Thick(heavy) I like the feel that they give when plucking strings
I feel uncomfortable with anything lighter than 0.75.
I quite like the Dunlop Nylon Standard 1mm picks, thick enough for shifting between intricate picking and grinding power chords, imo.
>>64207413
Yes. Fingerstyle master race.
>>64210764
You using those Ernie Ball Rebar 1000s?
mid because wen u dont know nothing about pics thats what u buy
Thin for acoustic because I like the strumming sound and I can go hard without making things buzz and bang.
Usually medium for electric since I use fairly thin strings. If I'm using thicker ones I'll use a heavy for fast stuff.
Right tool for the right job.
I've been making my own from wood lately, still experimenting with different thicknesses.

What drum machine is that?
Jazz picks or this one brand of 2.5mm picks that I forget the name of. Small but heavy picks are the best for me.
