Let’s share about our favorite guitar picks.

Jazz III’s are a popular favorite in my area, although I’ve almost always bought the cheapo Fender mediums and heavys. My dad played these powdergripped Dunlap tortexes for years, but they always felt so weird and out of place to me. I have a professional musician friend who swears by BlueChip flat picks. I’ll defer to the community towards fingerpicks, felt picks, and sixpence coins.

Interesting topic! I guess I’ve only semi-consciously thought about it over the years, and I’m a pretty simple guy: I prefer a textured, softer pick for playing acoustic guitar, and a firm, smooth one for electric.

Are there any better ways to select the right pick?
