I'm using Fender heavy and I'm wondering if there are any other good ones out there I should try. thanks I use a pick called " Hot Licks " . It's made of solid copper. Extra Thin-.005 Thin - .006 Lt Med - .007 Medium - .008 Heavy - .009 Ex Heavy -.010 They come three in a pack for about $6.50, I use .009 They have great controll and you can get a lot of cool sounds from these picks. They play better when the tip wears down rounder. When a pick does not bend the better controll you have of playing fast leads. You can order them from " GUITAR CENTER " they have to look them up in thier pick catalog book. There is also a pick called a " Key Stone " Which I know a bounch of Heavey Metal Player sware by. it's stone that is very rounded at the tip. Great for rolling that pick around the strings. Cost alot more. What I remeber over $10.00 a pick. but last for ever if you don't lose it. HotLicks Dunlop Mfg. Inc Box 846 Benicia, CA 94510 U.S.A You Might want to give it a try. Like I say once the pick wears down a bit. The faster the picking. A pick will last me around a year depending how much I play. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
