Let's share about our favorite guitar picks.

Jazz III's are a popular favorite in my area, although I've almost always bought the cheapo Fender mediums and heavys. My dad played these powdergripped Dunlap tortexes for years, but they always felt so weird and out of place to me. I have a professional musician friend who swears by BlueChip flat picks. I'll defer to the community towards fingerpicks, felt picks, and sixpence coins.

Dunlop Brass ‘Teckpick’ for me. With a rough edge filed along the edges at the pointy end. Fast, accurate picking with an awesome warm acoustic tone. I had one sitting untouched in my collection for 35 years until I started messing with it two years ago. I’ve since found that Dunlop produce them so ordered enough to last a long time.
