Pick Problems....., Help Needed!! Options

[iainsteward]

Hello all my GMC Family!

The time has come when I turn to you all for help and guidance!! I am in need of some new guitar picks, but am unsure what kind to get....... I recently bought some Jim Dunlop 2.0mm things and they are way way way too slippy and make my hand sweat, plus they are too thick for my liking, the only good thing is when using these picks the pinch harmonics could break windows 3 miles away

With not liking these picks I have been using some Jim Dunlop Nylon .46mm picks and I really like them, I can get a grip perfectly but they just arent thick enough and sometimes pinch harmonics can seem a little muffled and forced.......but they are an integral part of my playing!! Also you have to be really forceful when picking and its causing problems when playing faster parts, for example my band was covering Liar by Malmsteen and I completely screwed up the solo thanks to the pick, thank goodness it was just a practice!! But I pick very lightly with thin strings (gauge .09 on the high E) and its starting to play tricks with my technique using these .46mm paper picks!!

So, with that said I would appreciate it if someone could dip into the vast knowledge here on GMC and recommend the perfect pick for me, I need something not too thick, that provides good grip, is good for shred and speed playing and most importantly creates the pinch harmonics that makes girls pants fall down

Thanks guys,
Iain!!
