I have been playing (just for fun) for about 15 years. During which I have tried countless different types of guitar picks.

Recently I’m gravitating towards really thick picks, like the well-known Jazz III or Big Stubby 3.0mm. I’ve noticed I can play fast alternate picking and triplets much easier with these.

What types of picks do you use, and why?

    Yes I’m always surprised when I see that too. I often wonder if their angle of attack on their strings doesn’t require the sharp edge that the picks I rely on offer.

      So I happen to have both sitting on my desk here. I just can’t get used to the sharp edge of the pic, as you can see based on my usage lol

        Ah yes, those are the green Tortex picks I used forever until my switch about 6 months ago. Took a little getting used to, but I personally can’t go back now. I literally thought I’d never switch from Tortex picks, but part of growing is trying new things. I guess they aren’t for everyone though.
