I have been playing (just for fun) for about 15 years. During which I have tried countless different types of guitar picks.

Recently I’m gravitating towards really thick picks, like the well-known Jazz III or Big Stubby 3.0mm. I’ve noticed I can play fast alternate picking and triplets much easier with these.

What types of picks do you use, and why?

I’ve been using brass picks for the last year. Dunlop Tekpick. The acoustic tone is amazing and I find they’re great for speed picking. I like to file a slight rough edge on them to get some brightness to the attack.
