I have been playing (just for fun) for about 15 years. During which I have tried countless different types of guitar picks.

Recently I’m gravitating towards really thick picks, like the well-known Jazz III or Big Stubby 3.0mm. I’ve noticed I can play fast alternate picking and triplets much easier with these.

What types of picks do you use, and why?

I really like using normal size triangular picks from Blue Chip. I like the shape because the angle against the strings is flatter, which means I can get good warm tone without having to move my hand towards and away from the body as much. I like the Blue Chip material because it seems to last forever and I never have to decide if it’s time to replace a pick or not or deal with it changing over time.
