What's your favorite plectrum?

dunlop .88mm nylon

>>132072877

>>
Punchy and quiet.

>>132072877
Same but .77

Use a 10p piece you poseur
>>
I use electrical tape, cut dime sized, usually 4 or 6 pieces stuck together back-to-back. The further you move your thumb from the contact point the softer the action becomes. Cut up plastic coffee can lids also feel nice, but nothing beats using fingers

What 3rd world shit hole do you live in?

>>132073013
My grandpa used to do this, and I take after him, use his guitar, etc. Works well with flat wound strings too, supple combo

Medium gauge anything. Right now im using some picks my brother got me at riot fest a few years ago. They say theyre crybaby by tortex

My index finger

>>132073280
pretty much just habit
it works well for me, so why change?
>>
whatever material my old health insurance cards are made of. Incredibly thin, durable and keeps me from breaking my strings because sometimes I get too carried away.
>>
Right now my go to is the jazz 3 max grip carbon fibre. I've been fond of the yellow turtle for a while and purple t3. Jazz 3 xl and tortex jazz 3 xl are also pretty nice.

This one, because the real triangular picks Daron Malakian uses are apparently made only for him by Dunlop and alternatives are extremely rare to find especially where I live, but online too anyway. You really get some time to get used, and then you feel them being very efficient and interesting to pick with; Daron is absolutely right when he says they're comfortable. I'm gonna post the pick he uses in my next post.
>>
i use these for bass, and the regular green tortex for guitar
>>
I switch to classical guitar because i despise using picks.
>>
>>132075004
They're custom made for him. You can only buy it as a collector item from people who got it from a show.
And you obviously could sand a similar one to make one yourself, but it's really not the same thing.
>>
>>132075020
I despise using hammers and spoons.
>>
>>132075020
you can markknopflermaxx

>>132072859
Flow Standard 1.0, 1.12, 1.5 or 2.0 for cheap mass market picks. But the Lunar Black picks are pretty good for shredding, too.

>>132072859
You posted it... I think. I've had mine for so long the logo has completely worn off.
>>
>>132072859
i like the little turtle guy
>>
>>132075020
Have you tried hybrid picking or fingerstyle?
>>
>>132073268
Seems interesting. Is it really wood-made?
>>
This is the thread I enjoy a lot
>>
>>132080424
yeah, you don't seem much smarter than that
>>
>>132072859

jazz III but i modify mine. i twist them with vice grips so they're slightly spiraled (fits between my thumb and fingers better) and i shave the tip down with a razorblade. been doing it for years.
>>
anyone tried snorting pick dust?
>>
>>132080942
have you tried not being a disappointment to your parents?
>>
