I guess in a way I am because I like to use the larger size picks. The standard size picks I don't even look at them any more. I do like the medium thick grade picks though
Yeah,I sure am, Joe- I don't know how people use little tiny floppy picks..the only way I can get really fast stuff going is with large triangle medium or hard picks- I always use Onyx if they are available... they are not available through the wholesalers we use and I don't mind for a minute taking the 100km round trip to the only local regional music store that stocks them every few months.
I think a pick should be chosen along with all other guitar gear, for sound (and comfort of course). I use thin one for strumming acoustic, a very thin one for a whimsical sound and the thick green dunlop ones for electric blues
It does make a difference to sound but it is more a matter preference. The best thing to do is to get a thin, medium and heavy and see what suits you best.
I use a heavy pick most of the time, but sometimes when I am feeling crazy I swap to a lighter pick!
Some people like big picks and some like tiny ones. I personally get on well with the typical fender shaped picks.
At the moment I am using the Steve Vai signature picks, mainly because they are this shape but the end is very pointy which makes it great for faster playing!
