I play fingerstyle and with a pick and the Green tortex.88 do a great job and last!!

I use the little red Dunlop Jazz III's for bass (but I can't stand them for guitar) - I think they give a bit softer attack than my Fender 351 Heavy guitar picks because they're made of softer plastic.

For uptempo tunes were I want "finger-tip" tone but can't keep up, I use a leather pick I made from an old belt - it's nearly 1/8" thick and sounds very similar to my fingers.

*I should note that I'm primarily a guitar player (using a pick 98% of the time) and seem to have one loud finger and one quiet one on my right hand. Hey - I'm workin' on it! :^)

I'll use whatever I can get my hands on, but I prefer thick ones (1 mm at least) so the pick dont bend and I can use less hand motion to play faster........

....ultimately, I'd rather play with my fingers.......

I primarily play with my fingers although lately I have been fascinated by Anthony Jackson and his sound. Anybody have any pointers for getting that kind of sound, like he had on Money, and the old Al DiMeola records? Aside from the phaser pedal.

I play almost exclusively with picks....

I usually use the thinest picks i can get my hands on, it gets rid of that clickity clackity crap, while still preserving a "punchy" sound.

I actually like the Dava Control picks, prolly cuz they were the first ones I bought and I'm just comfortable using it. I tried out the Fender triangular bass picks and didn't like them at all, same with the Jim Dunlop big stubby's.

I use pink Dunlop Gator Grip .58mm picks.
