Favorite Thin Pick?

[Matt McGriff]

I’ve used .50 Dunlop Tortex picks for years. Keep buying them, so I must like them...

The only pics I've used for 50+ years is the old-school Fender thins and mediums.

Me too. I was using the regular shaped picks for years of the same thickness but found that I had a habit of dropping them halfway through a song. I rarely drop one now with these ones. Anything thicker and I may as well be using a plastic spoon. I like flex in my pick.

I use those fluorescent Dunlop thins picks for strumming and even flat picking.

Too Thin , and you're robbing yourself of a nicer ( For Strumming anyway ) SOUND ...should say louder or Fuller Sound . Guitar Moose .65 or .75 Classic , sorta a White Nylon , or Their .75 Clear Plastic or .80 Carbon Fiber depending on the Brighter or Mellower sound . The Classics have a mellower sound ALL Sticky grips--- to avoid the old Gorilla Pine Snot long thrown away Gel or double sided tape . I was dropping picks like crazy ...for a long time

Dunlop tortex 0.5mm red triangles for me too. I've tried dozens of different picks especially during the last year or so - thicker, different materials - but for that 'just right' flexibility I always end up back with the Dunlop red triangles. But also I prefer the shimmering sound they produce. (I suspect their flexibility covers a multitude of sins in my playing. In my hands, thicker picks always sound clunky.)

Dunlop Ultex Sharp teardrop .73. Great for strummed tunes but hopeless for flatpicking where I use a .90 Ultex Sharp. Any fatter and it dulls tone (I like bright).

As a lighter strummer/flatpicker I find 0.46 USA Nylon work best for me.

Dunlop Tortex .60 orange.

On those very rare occasions I use a pick I like the blue Clayton frost byte picks.

When I go for a thin pick, I use a .73mm (yellow) Dunlop Tortex. On my Eastman I prefer to use the 1mm (blue) Tortex as my everyday pick.

Try this one.
Note the thickness for the thin pick.

I have tried so many picks including expensive ones. I pretty much always come back to .71 Gators, the light purple ones. They are smooth and have very little pick/click noise but are firm enough for a hearty strum.

For flat picking I go thicker for more control.
