I want to try some new picks... I have been using the ernie ball heavy (dont know gauge) and its stiff as a board. I want something thats a little more flexible... any reccomendations?

| | | Dunlop Tortex 1mm. Try the triangle ones, they're really comfortable. They're the blue ones by the way. 
Peace,

|  | Yeah, I'm a guy! Moderator | | Join Date: Feb 2004 Location: Marana, AZ, USA | | | I never could stand the Dunlop Tortex picks. They seem to impart an unwanted attack "tone" for me. I like the Clayton .80mm for a flexible yet stiff pick. They have a "smoother" sound while playing IMO. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
