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.
@DaleGribble88@programming.dev As a teenager I used Dunlop Big Stubby for years, but nowadays I feel much more comfortable with Dava picks
These seem super well suited to “proper technique,” where you pinch the pick between your index finger and your thumb. I’m largely self-taught, so I hold my pick in a kinda weird compared to other players that I know. It makes me think this style of pick would be uncomfortable for me. I grip the pick with my thumb, index, and middle finger like a claw grab machine, then adjust the tension on the pick curve it around my thumb using my index and middle finger.
