I prefer 1 mm picks because they give good sound and they are flexible enough for chords

QUOTE (Vasilije Vukmirovic @ May 25 2009, 11:03 PM)  for acoustic guitar and that type of sound. Yeah, acoustic guitar, clean sounds and less overdriven sounds can point out the difference in sound when using different picks. However there is no perfect one (at least not for everyone) so you would have to pick your own choice or choices.

Different thickness as different pick material produce different sounds. My advice - buy as many different picks on the store and try them all. Changing the pick is the cheapest and fastest way to change your tone.

I use 2mm too. Thicker pick means you need looser wrist when doing chords though.

It depends only in what's more confortable to you. I met a guy that he used bass picks because he said they just suits better and felt more confortable with it. Just a matter of taste

I use right now 1.14mm FIRE STONE pick, its great and highly recommend it, especially if you are playing with distortion and want that treble sound and easy pinched harmonics

There is absolutely nothing wrong with playing a 2mm pick, actually there is no wrong pick, whatever feels fine for you is fine. But you should be aware of the fact that a pick can have a serious influence on your sound, so maybe you should try differend picks, and I am not only talking about the thickness, also try different shapes or materials. Like this you can get an impression on how a pick can help to get "your" sound, and of course you will also see that certain picks might be easier to handle for you than others. Just play around a bit and when you feel you found the right pick for yourself then use it, no matter if the rest of the world might prefer a different model.
