Buying Or Purchasing Guitar Picks

				
Here are some tips for buying or purchasing guitar
picks online...

Picks are a prefrence among each player. I have been 
playing for 32 years,and have tried nearly every pick 
made. My best advice would be to invest in many differnt 
picks, and spend time playing scales slowly, try playing 
songs that strum chords, and then try playing some faster 
licks.

Try this with each pick, and give it a while before making 
it a choice for picking a final favorite pick. I have found 
that certain picks work better for certain situations, and 
some picks can actually be very helpful, if properly as a 
tool for proper practicing methods. 

For example, try using a heavy pick, and slowly practing 
scales, using alternate picking (down, up). Do this several 
times a week. Then switch to a thinner pick and try playing 
some licks that are based on scales. 
You may find that the heavy pick worked much like ankle or 
wrist weights for a track runner.

After using the heavy pick for practicing scales, then ...
switching to the thinner pick, you may find that your 
picking hand in general, is now operating much smoother and 
faster.
My favorite picks of choice, that I have found which work 
best for strumming chords and soloing are Jim Dunlop nylon, 
non breakable picks, .38mm, or .46mm.They have a nice grip
at the top, and once they are broke in from practicing a bit, 
they develop a certain smoothness vs any other picks I have 
personally used in over 40 years of playing.

Dunlop Manufacturing produces many different types and 
sizes of plectra (or picks as they are also named) to 
suit the varied preferences of today's musicians. Dunlop's 
wide variety of gauges, shapes, sizes, and materials 
allows the player to select the exact pick for his/her 
own particular style of playing.
