Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | The reason I use Fender Mediums is because I bought a gross of them years ago and they never break. As more equipment arrived over the years, various types of picks also arrived as deal candy and they went into the pick jar. Now there's got to be hundreds in there of all shapes and sizes. However, inasmuch as I had become accustomed to the Fender Mediums, they remain my pick of choice. |

Location: Marlton, NJ | I have a helluva time holding onto picks when I'm strumming. I've tried many different picks with not a significant amount of difference. I was bored one day and decided to try a selection of thumb picks:
The other reason I tried this was to get more volume from the thumb while fingerpicking. Out of the five shown, the bumblebee (black/yellow) was the best for me for strumming. It's adjustable (the attack angle) and was closest to a regular pick. For finger picking I liked the one in the middle - made of delrin. It's also adjustable. I also tried standard dunlop and fender thumbpicks but didn't like those. The orange one on the left was just way too wimpy.
For strumming though, I'm still in search of a good pick. Beggin gave me one at G8rbowl, which my son has confiscated.
The more I play, the easier it gets to hold on, so there's hope for me yet. |
