Is it silly to get excited about guitar picks?

i'm all bout the 3mm stubbies. \m/


Glory and praise to Thee, Satan, on high,
Where Thou didst reign, in Hell where Thou dost lie,
Vanquished, silent, dreaming eternally.
Grant that my soul some day rest close to Thee
Under the Tree of Knowledge which shall spread
Its branches like a Temple overhead.

^^^I've just upgraded to 2mm Stubbies from 1mm as they seemed to peel and splinter really quickly. Which colour are the 3mm ones? I live in the middle of nowhere so Stubbies are about as exotic as my choice of pick comes. I've never even tried the Jazz III or any of the other picks I see namedropped regularly.

(that being said, I prefer to pick with my index finger anyway, regardless of style)

These are the picks I've been using lately.

Stubbies rule, and I never have to worry about other players swiping my picks. Most guys who use the flat and floppy picks dont know what to do with them. So they leave them alone. My other guitar players gets his flat 1mm's swiped all the time.

I cant find any other pick that has less friction and more control. Though I am curious to try the jazz 3's ive heard so much about.

Try to exclude the possibility of suffering which the order of nature and the existence of free-wills involve, and you find that you have excluded life itself.

^^i like them a lot...they are smaller them normal picks (from the tip to the blunt side, probably about 2/3 the size of regular picks)1.14mm thick and make AH's really easy



You've got your head down
You've got your eyes closed
You look so pitiful now

Your body encrusted with ash
Breath heavy with toxins
Hair singed and matted
Clothes frayed and burnt

You are left with nothing

Assuming the stubbies are the Lexan picks, the 3mm is a)a tank and b) dark dark blue.

I still like Cool Brain 1.30mm V-shapes. I used to like Gator Grips, but I like these Cool Picks better, even though they cost a little more.

Depending on the mood I'm in, I use either the Pickboy 1mm gray/silver pick with the pointy tip, or a Dunlop 3mm Stubby. The Pickboy is made of a very hard material and is the best 1mm shredder I've tried. The 3mm is best when I'm playing in a more legato style and don't want as much brightness/attack.
