I prefer somewhere around a .50 mm for strumming an acoustic, about a .75 for regular picking, a 1.2 for metal, and a 1.8 if I'm using it to play bass.
Somewhere in that general area and I'm all good. Gimme a few seconds and I can adjust to pretty much any pick size. I do not like metal picks, however. Wooden picks can be nice and make a warm tone.
I don't like metal pick either. When I would have an assortment like that I would usually find one I like, maybe a 0.75 and I would proceed to lose it and not be able to find another one like it in the pack LoL
Yeah, picks just sorta disappear. I've got no idea where they all go. When I perform, I have pockets full of 'em. Well, not full, but a lot - plus I store 'em on my mic stand and generally have a few scattered on my monitor. I give a lot of 'em away. I can flick 'em pretty far - like 30+ feet.
I've never tried flicking them, I wonder how far I get one to go!
at the kind of people that stop by my house
