Its hard to shred on an acoustic.......then he fires away...show off!!!

[musichopper]

lol I have trouble with it. its mostly the left hand issue I think.

[mitchskater]

do you use the jazz stubbys?

[musichopper]

I did a few times. yeah. If I only have those its almost the same.

[DDmess14]

Nice playing man! Where did u getthe 3mm pick?

[musichopper]

Dunlop

Never thought I would say it but I could never go back to a pick that flexes for any reason. I found that slippery picks work wonders with a series of 1/8 inch holes drilled in them.

if you want treble in strumming use a taylor not a silly 7x pick monstrosity IMHO

[loverock4ever1997]

what is the second pick

[asherasator]

The only thing with pick materials is that some are toxic or pose potential health hazards: Tortex/Delrin is formaldehyde based & Dupont recommends not even touching it. Polycarbonate/Lexan has Bisphenol A which has long been known for it's hazards. Guitarists literally shred the plastics & breath it in or others breath it in. U can see it on guitars & also becomes part of the dust in a room or club. Safest materials r probably: Nylon, celluloid, maybe ultex & acrylic.

i like the last pick the most

[massif20022000]

I use the V-pick Screamers and I love them except for the price ($4.00 each) and the chirpy noise that happens sometimes. A V-pick lasts me about three weeks (they have three points, so one point per week) I change my strings every two weeks, or about every 30 hours playing. I have a Big Stubby, I'l try it again.

[xsvmaster]

I've used several picks, for Bass I use a Bug Stubby 3.0 or 2.0 Max Grip. But there's one pick series I've always trusted: Dunlop Tortex.

Specifically, the Green .88mm is great for anything.

[WoWintosh]

You should try v-picks. No flex, very thick 2.75 mm also .8mm to 11.85 mm available

I recommend the medium or large pointed 2.75 mm I like the freakishly large lite 1.5mm and I use the 5.65 mm psycho. They are better than the big stubby because they stick to your fingers, they are slick for a smooth release, thick with no flex ,faster than any jazz pick, plus at 4 bucks a pop they are much cheaper than most specialty picks, plus Vinni is cool.

wow a bullet proof glass pick LOL thats pretty neat now ur pick will be safe if somebody trise to shoot it!!!!

[trevskiw2008]

i have tried so many picks the stubbys are great picks but the grip and the feel is not for me i prefer a jazz lll for the tonal properties and it is small, easy to maneuver and i can play super fast cleanly with no worries about ever dropping it.
