An article by instructor Todd Simpson
It's important to use a pointed pick when practicing Alternate Picking. Tear drop shape with a long, sharp, point. This is the shape that I've been creating by shaving/carving/sanding standard picks for years.
Creating this fine point really helps to decrease the amount of "Pick Drag" and reduce the amount of pick striking the string at any given time. This will help you essentially play in a more accurate, consistent fashion and with increased speed.
This shape is becoming more and more popular as evidenced by its adoption from a large distributor like Dunlop where as for quite some time, these large picks in this shape were seen more from boutique vendors like V-Picks.
