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

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.

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...

Gravity Gold. I've used every pick material out there and nearly every brand.
Great for strumming or flat picking. |

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.
