You Might Be Using The WRONG Guitar Pick

How do different guitar picks impact your tone? Do you even care about the picks that you use, or do you just grab whatever you can get your hands on? In this video I explore the differences in tone between a variety of popular guitar picks from thin to thick, from textured to smooth. I try and cover as many options as possible.
The aim? To see if there is a difference, define what the differences are, and give you some valuable things to consider when choosing the right guitar pick for your playing style.

Thanks for watching guys! What's your favourite guitar pick? Do you use 1 specific brand/pick or do you have a few different options? 🎸

[@wallyflint]

I use Pick X.

Nice video! I use the Dunlop Ultex 73mm picks. I think they bring out a bit more brightness than other picks, so I use them on acoustic and electric guitar. The 73s are a good balance between bendy and stiff for me - not really a fan of thicker picks at the moment!

Thanks for watching David! Really appreciate it and glad you enjoyed the video! 73mm sounds like a perfect blend, I’ve not tried the Ultex line but I’ll definitely keep an eye out for them!

Good vid Chris - orange or yellow Tortex for me on my Taylor, I feel validated! The 2mm one surprised me, sounded good👌

Thanks Andy! Really appreciate you taking the time to watch and thanks for comment! Glad to meet a fellow Tortex fan! 🤘🏻 they’re definitely a great all-rounder!
