koula901 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Hi folks! I was thinking the ideal pick for me would be thin on one side for rhythm playing and medium on the other for picking notes. Does anyone know if these exist, if so who makes them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoslate Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 ...and I still have that orange translucent Gravity pick that you gave to me at a PSP a number of years ago. I don't play with it (a little too thick), but it's become a sort of talisman, and it goes to every gig, in my pocket! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuz Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I use V-Picks a lot when I play, but the 2mm one is my max width. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidsmoke Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I like the v-picks as well, but don't feel the need to go THAT thick. DB, that group shot...that isn't you is it? That's gotta be 150.00 in picks.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuz Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Derek Trucks says that real men don't need picks!mDT is an amazing guitarist and known primarily for his slide playing, although he is great when he isn't playing slide. But I still contend that he would use a pick if he wasn't a slide player. Robby Kreiger of the Doors said that learning to play primarily finger-style & not using a pick, limited him as a guitarist and he wished he would have learned how to play with a pick. And yes Robby Kreiger did say that (I am not sure your quote is authentic). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen him drop the slide and play his a** off without a pick also, not saying he would never use one, and your right, it wasn't even a quote, was just thinking about what Derek would REALLY say, and it would probably be something like "I wouldn't know what to do with a pick, never tried one..."

fxdx99 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I can confirm that he ALWAYS has that pick with him. ... the image this conjurers up reminds me of a tune by Georgia Satellites... Friend of mine gave me this pic, which (surprisingly to me as I've kinda stopped using picks for the most part) I really like. http://guitarmoose.com/products/guitarmoose-stickygrip-guitar-picks-carbon-fiber-mini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetroitBlues Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I do have a couple of V picks... nothing like that one. I was just Joshing you all. My favorite is a thin large clear pick I like to use with acoustics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schundog Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I like to have a lot of selection on hand when it comes to picks.... I think this neurosis stems from having ONE pick when I was a kid, learning to play. That Fender 351 got worn out, cracked, and we didn't live near any music stores, and my Dad didn't seem to understand that they did, indeed, wear out! Still, I find myself more often than not reaching for a large, triangular Fender Heavy pick, or a Fender 351 (standard shape) thin. Probably more and more the thin 351, as I seem to be playing acoustic more and more and more. Using the thumb and fingers a lot more these days, too. I had to dig down to the bottom of this pile, but I found my pick that Katy gave me all those years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetroitBlues Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 That's a long time to hang on to a single pick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 I never have used a pick. Now I'd kind of like to start using one - at least sometimes - but I am not very dexterous and can't figure out how to hold/tuck the thing when I do or don't want to use it. I've seen some guys master that "trick" of fingerpicking, then grabbing a pick that has somehow been hidden up their sleeve like a magician. Fingerpicks are another option that I have tried, but I can't find any that are comfortable enough to use consistently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yooper Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 I've seen some guys master that "trick" of fingerpicking, then grabbing a pick that has somehow been hidden up their sleeve like a magician. Warren Haynes, Sco and Joe Pass come to mind. This is the secret to the widest range of tone and expression. Pickups and amps far less so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a technique where as I tuck a pick between my ring/pinky finger when I switch back and fourth from using my fingers and a pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
