Remeber a discussion in one of the threads regarding the merits of different plectra, etc. Here's (IMHO) a fairly useful article on the topic: http://www.g...

Plectra (or plectrums for the latin-challenged rockers!!!)

Heath

Shark fin Red and Beige , i have tried other shapes just never felt comfortable .

Martyr

i'm also using Dunlop Jazz III picks,but i use black and red,colour doesn't matter to me ?

IMO,i find they help you play alot more accurately,i don't have that problem of the pick rotating in my fingers anymore,it used to happen when i'd strum,but i got a new technique so it doesn't happen anymore ?

only downside to 'em is if you at a gig and you lose your pick and left all your spares at home and you gotta borrow from someone else 9.9999/10 times they have regular picks which SUCKS >☹

Martyr, that would be why I keep 6 on me at all times in my lighter pocket...that only happens once and once is enough to put the fear of God into you. ?

Fingers and nails boys - the best sounding and most flexible approach to tone.

i haven't tried 'em before,they look WAY to big for me(IMO)

Malkav

Alan - I use my fingers, in more of a hybrid sense but I've thrown in the actual use of my pinky and trained it up so that I can pick in a more versatile manner when needed.

Martyr - Good on you ? nice setup in relation to stock.

also one of my favourite things is to go to gigs and when the guitarist hasn't remembered to bring one of his own plectrums I give him a Jazz III and watch him squirm (happens more often than you think)

agreed ?, my one friend came over to jam and he left his pick at home and i lent him a Jazz III,it was so funny watching his reaction while he was trying to play ?,but needless to say,he is now only using Jazz III picks ?

I bought myself a Dunlop Jazz III pick the other day because most of the guys in GFSA pays with them so I decided well lets see what the rave is all about and WoW! Awesome love it..
Now my Red Shark Fin is swimming with the fishes..

The profound series are the about the same size as the Jazz III (about 1.5mm wider) excellent grip, my 2nd favourite pick (Jazz III Red being my favourite). I Bought a bunch of awe-in one's at Heur Claremont a while back.
