I used to use Fender 351 Premium Celluloid in Heavy or something similar. A couple months ago I picked up some Snarling Dogs Brain Picks and now I mostly use those. The little raised bumps on the Brain picks make them easy to hold onto.

How about you?

I used good ol fashioned Dunlop mediums. 4 for a buck

Never used Fender 351 Premium Celluloid or Brain picks. But they do look interesting!

The purple Dunlop Tortex. But when I want some searing harmonics, I use a quarter.

[matt31]

Hmm never tried using a quarter...sounds interesting

[Redline68]

I've never tried pocket change. I'll have to remember that the next time I'm without a pick.

I usually just use Fender mediums. I've tried using change from when I can't find a pick, but I don't like coins too much (I think I was using a penny though, a quarter might play better). Also I folded up dollars to use as lighter picks, but they're not good. Just really big or thick and occasionally got stuck on a string. It was just an attempt to find something that acted similarly to a thinner pick.

Anyone use those mini looking picks? I've been trying to figure out what they're for, do they help you play faster or something?

Dunlop Jazz III and Dunlop Tortex 1.14.


Keep it Metal!!!

i use to alway use those little dunlop jazz picks that are half the size and pointy, then i moved on to dunlop Heavy the transparent red ones. now i always use the dunlop tortex .78mm yellow, i don't think i'll stray from those again

The most famous coin-user is Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top. Supposedly he uses a Mexican peso. But he has also been know to stretch the truth when it comes to biographical facts, so who knows.

I would think a coin would ruin a finish right quick if one wasn't real careful.

I usually use Dunlop Tortex, most often the yello mediums, iirc they're 73 mm. Heavier for bass, I think those are blue or purple and 106 mm.

i use generic fender mediums, when i have them, but i have used pennies and dimes before, a quarter would be a bit too large for me to play with comfortably.......

THE most famous coin user the DOES for real use coins is Brian May, he uses a six-pence
