Back when I was 16, these were my favorite!!  Can anyone else relate?

yes I can!
I remember using the flaps of the matches and folding them...Man, that was a long, long time ago...

Yes, :bgrin:
When I started playing at 15 we used either the plastic bread bag tabs like that or the pieces from my Dad's credit cards when
he cut them up after they expired.
My wife says I can buy, sell swap guitars and cars as much as I want...
as long as I don't start swapping wives... sounds like a good deal to me.

I don't play with a pick very often, but when I do I use these:

I was at a guitar show a while back, and they were passing them
out there. I've ordered some, and really like them.
(Haven't lost a single one.....yet, which is a miracle in itself :bowdown:)

Hey Duck, usually I use "THOSE" picks on my nose!!!  If I am really aggressive, I can bury the 3rd finger to the 4th knuckle!!!!   :humour:

The only picks I ever use anymore are the Herco heavy flatpick/thumbpick. Great for hybrid picking! :thumb

Unless im casually strumming, I use the side of standard shaped picks as well. Try is its incredibly versatile.

Well, just when I thought I had found the most perfect pick (Planet Waves Suregrips), guess what..... I found another make that really is turning my crank!!!  It is the Dava Grip picks:



They have a softer, quieter sound, ideal for recording when you don't want the harshness or scraping of a pick to come through.

I have tried these for about a week and I really like the feel and comfort.  They could be my new favorite pick!!!    :thumbsup

I was looking at Bob Colosi's web site earlier,
has anybody tried the Ivory flatpicks he makes?
If so what do you think of them compared to say a Wegen?

Doesn't the grippy stuff get stuck between the strings?

No the black "grippy stuff" appears to rub off. Only the colored pick material touches the string.
