Or is this just one of those preference things -John Preference thing - heavier picks help up to a point, after that it is preference for sure. I found .46 too light, now I am using 1.14 and they suit me fine. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Or is this just one of those preference things -John I always used 0.71 and switched to the Dunlop Jazz III. They are around 1.32 mm I find the string response better. I also like the pointier tip. seems to allow me to get in to tight places better. (good for cleaning my ears) Depending on what style. I find at time they are a little to heavy for acoustic strumming. Again as most will tell you preference is the main factor for most choices we make.

Scoob ok so im guessing a pick around .71 would be medium and 1.32 heavy ? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

It does not state its thickness, but i measured it to be around 1.14 or so.. It's perfect for me:D You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
