S t e v e Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 anyone else here use dunlop ultex sharp? i use the 1.0 gauge...last a lifetime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hector Arcadius Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Alternative idea: try use heavier / thicker picks. It's just a matter of getting used to thicker ones. And once you get used to, you just can't go back to thinnier ones. I use Alice picks, 1,5 gauge. I just can't go back... (and I also have trouble finding those near me as well).

swleary Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 these are what I use now....I'm still on the same one I used since Dec.3/2009 and that's at least an hour a day playing lol Dava Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duane v Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I use the hello kitty types. The edges have a sharp cut to them which makes the guitar chirp / squeal really cool. Plus the texture from the hologram allows them to stay positioned in my finger tips... especially when I have perspiration on my hands. Downfall is they only last about week, and they fall apart in the dryer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveinspain Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I was using purple picks which I liked a lot and then switched to green which were also good.... There wasn't much of a difference so I tried some gray picks. The grays are much more accurate and faster. I'm sticking with the grays for now...

RichCI Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I use regular old Fender mediums. Depending on the song(s), a pick might last four or five songs or just one because they disintegrate. But, I can't stand the softer feel of nylon or tortex and the Fender picks are extremely cheap and easy to find for sale. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370309934007 http://www.amazon.com/Fender-Celluloid-Shape-Medium-Guitar/dp/B001L8KETC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=musical-instruments&qid=1264693227&sr=1-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVOL! Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I have an obscenely heavy hand with a lot of wrist snapping so I keep switching to lighter and lighter picks. With 11s I don't break strings, but staying in tune can be tough. My latest test drive are the Dunlop standard nylon ones in .60. So far, so good. Had to give up on Tortex after 10+ years. They don't have enough give. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LPguitarman Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I use Bulldog Lime Green color picks. I also hold my pick sideways. Feels more comfortable and the grip texture on the pick gives me a different tone / attack on the strings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FirstMeasure Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Fender Mediums. All the colors sound the same to me except Abalone, and I swear it has a more "rounder, more organic" attack than a regular celluloid pick. I don't have a heavy attack so one lasts about a month, more about finesse. Hardly ever break strings either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silenced Fred Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Dunlop. I use either Tortex, Gator Grip (favorite right there) or the Ultex Sharp. I also got a Titanium Pick from Emerson Knives, not to hijack the thread, but has anyone else used titanium picks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
