What thickness of pic do you use? And what are the benefits of using a thicker pick, as opposed to a thin one, if there are any? Or is it just preference?

I use a .60mm Its all preference as to pick thickness (or using one at all) Either do a search and look at old posts on this subject for pros/cons and peoples opinions on benefits, etc... or just wait for someone else to fill you in

I find thin are better for strumming/acoustic and thick are better for not strumming/electric

That'd have to be a bass pick or somethin', man. Or do they make picks for guitar that thick? O.o

he plays bass, like most everyone here i use the dunlop (orange) tortex .60mm great pick, not too thin, not too thick, u can hear the pick when u strumm, but it goes thru easily, id recomend them.

Oh. I thought he meant he was using it on a guitar; I didn't know he played bass. Heh. Thanks for lettin' me know.

Tortex 0.60mm for guitar
preferably fingers for bass, if not 1.0mm fenders

he means 1.1 mm or .11 cm

1.1 cm would be like a cube of plastic

0.60mm i prefer... these are obviously better for the percussive style that Dave uses as well (in case you're trying to mimic him)

when I RARELY use a pick, I use the dunlop 1.0 (the blue one) or the Jazz III picks.
