mostly fingers. always fingers for acoustic, actually. my nails hate me for it. but that pink nivea hand and nail stuff works wonders. put it on before bed. although lately it's become harder to find than the other sock.

i do have a few of those ovaloid fender picks left, i reckon they're about .73mm thick, i'll use them for lead lines. bought a pack of them a while back and have about 3 left. jim dunlop jazz iii's as well, great attack.

Bass- fingers, thumbs, thumbpicks (because you can't drop them ? ) or blue sharkfin.

Guitar-I've always used the default red sharkfin, but lately noticed that thicker picks sound better for strumming so I've been working my way up to white sharkfins and will probably try a stubby next.

When I first started it was red sharkfin only, for those mind numbing manic strumming sessions. Nice and soft so you can beat those strings into submission.

Now I am also on fingers first especially acoustic and bass. As far as Rock/blues leads I tend to prefer the fingers/thumb ala Mark Knopfler.

I tried the whole left hand nail thing twice, but they irritated me so much I trimmed them down again.

I have a whole selection of harder picks but I don't really have any preferences

Oh and I can't handle thumb picks.

Surprised by the amount of Fin-love... ?

I like the Dunlop Ultex and Tortex picks. 0.73, sharp-tipped. Bloody hard to find sometimes, and I go through a lot of them because the tip does wear down.

Spoke with a Boerie Traditional player. His plectrum is a stiff leather patch 8). Must try that sometimes on a rhythm guitar ?

Thumb pick

Chord Dry grip 1mm

I hybrid pick. So my fingers and a Dunlop jazz 3

Love the Alice picks, 1.2mm, 1.5mm. Had Jim Dunlop sharkfins. Most uncomfortable picks. I have small hands so that may be the reason. Lately been doing fingerpicking as well.
