Does Dave Matthews use the Dunlop Tortex Orange kind? I know TR uses the Dunlop Tortex 1.0 Blue kind...but not Dave. Cheers

In central park, i believe dave uses his exact same orange picks, just in the black form.. Kanter has a .60mm pick that he got at the mtv performance that dave used.. so yea, dave uses black and orange .60mm picks.. i dunno if you're able to buy the black picks in stores though

Its not Dunlop Tortex then if they're black is it ? I only thought you could get those in orange ? I've been using those myself , but never seen them in black , maybe its a custom order

Some picks come in the light, medium, heavy variety, others are actually sold by different mm's. Dunlop Tortex sells them that way and Dave uses the .60mm brand.
