Get one like this , it'll set you back more than the ones Bill quoted,made from Jade.

When I use a pick I use (0.53mm):

Gorgeous Chas.

I'd love to try a jade or artificial tortoise shell pick just to see how it sounds and feels, but I'd hate to lose something that nice especially if it did become a favourite and played beautifully. Maybe when I become a legend... Haha. well I guess I won't be getting one any time soon.

Beautiful.

Well you got yourself a great collection, that's for sure!

My favourite, hmmmm....no favourites, maybe my pink 'Graceland'-pick, but I lost it during a performance a couple of months ago .....but that was more because it was Elvis related.

However, I use the grey one, Dunlop 88 all the time, and a thicker one for the electrical guitar, like the green one, not sure about the thickness, can't read it anymore..

Anyway, I'm really curious wich one is going to be your favourite next!

Nessa

What's your grey 0.88 Dunlop made from Nessa? Or your electric guitar pick for that matter?

Sorry about your Elvis pick. That sucks. Maybe it will turn up.

I have to agree with Nesh.
I just bought a few Jim Dunlop 88's and I believe these maybe the one. I like the grip they have on them also, they seem to be a little more secure between your fingers.
I think Neil may use these, but I am not sure, check them out, give them a test drive.

Hang in there, woman! Keep searching til you find the one you like, then buy a LOT of them. Here are a couple of more you might audition to replace the late Harold.

Thanks Bill. Thanks for the temptation. I'm definitely curious, but I think I should learn how to play before I start paying $20 for a single pick.

Ratbag!

Do they come with mad skills???

Michele

Michele, I have two of the Blue Chip picks that were given to me. (I would never pay $35 for a pick) They are not bad, but like all others I have used, they like to go through the soundhole into the great "pick receptacle". I am staying with the 'invisible pick'. I have yet to lose one of those.

I use Taylor Guitar Celluloid Picks.
Ten picks per pack by gauge; two of each color per pack. Available in thin, medium or heavy gauge. ($5.00)

[reiver]

It's OK, Michele - so long as you're arranging them in type and thickness order you're quite sane. When you start arranging them in order of the colours of the rainbow.............. that's when things may have taken a turn for the worse.
