|
|
Since I use small and thick stubby picks my guitar playing has become much better. Are there more people here who favour them? |

I used to only use the small, hard Peavey picks like these:
They were great especially for heavy music. These days I tend to use a standard size and just shorten it with my grip. |

I used the Dunlop stubbies for years. I really liked the 2mm and 3mm ones. The 1mm wore down super quick.
I also liked the Jazz III picks, especially the Ultex ones. I've used loads of Jazz style picks, my recent favourite was Shark Tooth picks by Strum-n-comfort. Im going to pick up a couple of JB picks very soon to see how they compare to Red Bear picks. _________________ www.gabrielwareing.com |

What thickness is the stubby? Lately i've been loving the paul gilbert ibanez picks. They don't seem to last very long though. Plus i love the color.
I used the love jazz III's, i find they make my arm very tired for rhythm playing. I prefer something a little thinner and bigger.

The ones I am using are three milimeters but they also come in two and one milimeters. But I only like the three milimeter one. |

3mm sounds pretty extreme for me. Do your fingers get tired while playing leads? |

No not at all. The three milimeter pick is very nice to hold and has a good grip. With picks that are like a piece of paper I tend to squeeze the pick between my thumb and index finger which results in tiredness. |

Ditto.
I actually picked up a 6-pack of 3mm Stubbies yesterday... though I meant to get 2mm. Might return them and exchange, might hold on to them and just get some 2mm later.
I kind of prefer a full sized pick for guitar, but for mandolin a small pick is ace. As I posted to my Instagram Thursday, my favourite mando pick is a well worn 1mm Dunlop Gator - https://instagram.com/p/6nwn3DBaWq/ _________________
