What is your #1 pick for strumming?
 
I can’t settle on just one if it kills me.

D’Andrea Classic Celluloid in medium-heavy (.84mm.)

I tend to like a warm tone.

Plain old Jim Dunlop .60mm nylon works for me.

My SJ-200 also sounds good and a little brighter with any thin celluloid around .048"/.052" thick.

I know it's just me but I find thick picks sound way too 'clicky' across the strings.

Those black 'T' Strings & Beyond picks are great at 0.52" but for some strange reason they won't sell them separately. :(

Jim Dunlop medium. Cowhide pattern makes them easier to find.

I also like thin picks .48 to .52 I fell I can attack my playing a little harder if needed with them I don’t mind breaking picks.

Gibson Medium pick.

Same here: .60 for all-around use, .67 (the hard-to-find orange ones) for flatpicking and acoustic rhythm, .73 for archtop and 12-string...

I wasn't aware there was a .67mm nylon ... just ordered a 5 pack!

Gravity Gold. I've used every pick material out there and nearly every brand.

Great for strumming or flat picking.

Dunlop Primetone .88 for me.

fartamis 06-23-2021 09:49 PM

Dunlop tortex 0.73 or nylon 0.73. Very rarely nylon 0.60 for very fast rhythms.

BoneDigger 06-23-2021 09:55 PM

Primetone .88 or 1.0 for me. Second place goes to Ultex in the same thickness range.

jaymarsch 06-23-2021 10:22 PM

I use several for variety but lately have been really appreciating casein. Apollo and Charmed Life. .90mm or thereabouts. I like a small triangle with rounder corners than usual.
Best,
Jayne
