Re: [SurfGuitar101] Pick Thickness

One Four Six Oh (thor1460) - 02 Jan 2002 16:24:51

I always use a pick that won't bend under my tremelo picking. This usually
means .96mm - 1mm dunlop, but even these sometimes (rarely) feel a little
flimsy. If the pick is flimsy I feel like I'm loosing a lot of my tremelo
energy and movement to the pick bending instead of actually crossing the
string. I also like to tremelo pick very fast and play songs fast.
