I use Dunlop Tortex purple 1.14 mm picks.

To change it up, sometimes I use sitar picks which are cheap on E-bay and give you a brighter attack:

For me, I have not worn down a sitar pick yet..

try the Jazz III XL - just bigger versions of the Jazz III. i've been using the Black XL for 10 years or something now.

Thanks, I'll try those. The Jazz III also has a very prominent strike sound - if that makes sense - so I'll probably end up using a combination of picks for studio work.

I used Jazz IIIs for many years, but now I use Black Diamond carbon picks. Yes, I feel a little silly paying $30 for a pick, but I've tried a lot of picks, and these are the best for my playing style. They last a looooong time, so over time the cost isn't so bad.

I use strictly Red Bear picks, I absolutely love them! My favorite style is the big jazzer plus, light or heavy gauge, standard bevel no grip holes.

I have a couple of Red Bear picks as well. They're amazing. For touring - when I'm prone to have picks get lost - I usually switch to Fender heavy celluloid-style.

Fender heavy because you can get them anywhere!

Dunlop 'Big Stubby', the 2mm ones. Have used them for years and they just feel right to me. They don't bend and have great grip. I even have a couple that I punched holes through the middle and put on my keyring, because you never know when you might need a pick..

Cheers,
Brian

Like most of you I've tried most picks available and some are better then others, but I always seem to end up using Fender Extra heavies.. works for me.

Dunlop Tortex Jazz - purple when I feel like thicker tone, green when I want crisp tone.

I use Hot Licks Cooper picks #10, long discontinued. I use the side of the pick. I bought a lifetime supply, I hope.

How many is that?

I use Jim Dunlop Jazz 207.

lol. I think I bought 90. I try not to lose any, of course!

 

[Fabio KTG]

Does nobody else use 2mm Tortex? I use jazz III's for recording lead work, but I just love the fast attack of a thick pick

Good! I was beginning to worry you would say 3

I use Dunlop Nylon Max Grip & Dunlop Nylon Standard Guitar Picks. The gauges I use are 0.60, 0.73, 0.88 & 1.0 depending on what I'm playing but I think I use 0.73 the most. I play a lot of strumming stuff and use a lot of up strokes to make the high notes in big chords stand out, so I like the pick to be flexible or else I break strings or get the pick stuck on the strings and knock it out of my hand.

Used Jazz III for about a year, then started playing with a band again, and the bassist gave me the JIII XL to try out, now I wonder how I every managed to keep the tiny JII's in my hand :?

So far the JIII XL have been my main for past couple of months. I Like em.
