re: Finally compared guitar picks

I think everybody likes a thinner pick when first starting out, especially on acoustic. Like auggie said, it's easier for strumming and produces a softer sound. But as you gain more experience, you'll find yourself going thicker and thicker. For a flat pick, .88 - 1.0mm was the sweet spot for me in a Dunlop Tortex until I discovered Gravity picks. Using a 4mm pick seems completely insane at first but I adapted to it quickly. The smooth beveled edges allow it to slide off the string more gradually which eliminates the snappiness and produces a more mellow tone. I actually tried a 6mm pick from Gravity for a while. I called it the cough drop but that was going a bit too far, lol.
