For many years, when I first started playing up through 2013, I have almost always played picks on the thinner side. Somewhere in the .70-1mm range.
I knew that Jerry played with thicker picks, more specifically the Dunlop Adamas Graphite 2mm. I had tried on several occasions trying a thicker pick 1.5, and just couldn’t get used to it. I was too young and impatient, I knew I could get used to them in time with practice, but decided not too.
Well of course I finally got off my high horse and made a choice to give them an honest try. So again, back in 2013, when I decided to start playing again, I bought 2 dozens of them (Dunlop Adamas Graphite 2mm)
Looking back I could have kicked myself for not giving them a fair go, cause they really did make a difference in tone.
I don’t use them all the time, but they are part of my “core” pick arsenal now.
In fact when I ordered the pedals I snagged a couple Gravity picks, since I’ve wanted to try them for a while. I got a single 2mm as well as a 3pk of the .77s. I also wanted to try out some of the Dunlop Gator picks, a 12pk of .71s and a 12pk of their 2.0s.
I have battery acid for hand oil and like some I have trouble sometimes when prolonged strumming is called for, the picks can sometimes start turning. The Gartor picks grip much better then some others I currently have and have tried in the past. In fact the Gator 2.0 though not graphite, give out a great tone, especially when played near the bridge pickup.
Anyhow,
It got me thinking, what picks do you guys grab for most often?
