Thicc is good

The flow jumbos are great. The 4.2mm ones are monstrous and I'm not sure if it's in a good way.

How does it even fit between the strings?😀

Real* guitar players make their own picks by laminating the shed scutes from their pet red-earred slider. 


(Ok, so my turtle doesn't shed fast enough for me to use only these, but it is fun anyway.)
Dude. That's kind of cool.
*I'm not a real guitar player, but I fake it fairly well most of the time.

One time, I only had a tin of those Fender tortex pics on hand and the slick little bastards kept flying out of my hand.

So I chewed on one, slightly, to get a surface that I could get a grip on.

Dude. That's kind of cool.

Thanks.  Maybe I'll start a separate thread about it when I get around to making another one (I've described it on DIYSB, but I've learned enough to make it better).  The process is a bit labor intensive, but it's super simple material-wise and hardware-wise.  And, the pick is surprisingly durable.

Now I am wondering what's the thickest commercially available pick. 

Edit: Found an 11.85mm so far....

I'd like to try one of those, the 4mm seems thin when i use it now, my screwy memory says it was fatter.

25mm Purple Plectrum

I've got one of the 9mm purples incoming. At the very least, it'll be a good prop.

When I first started playing guitar, a teacher used the Dunlop 3.0mm purple big stubby ones exclusively (even turning them around to play with the round edge sometimes). I used them because I figured that was normal. Found my way to basic Dunlop .73 and .88mm nylon picks and have used those ever since. I play 11s or 12s with my acoustic and LP—both sizes work for me there. I have 10s on a jaguar and can only use the .73s with that guitar. Anything bigger and my heavy hand breaks strings way too fast.

As in you can prop your guitar up with it

Another 25mm puck pick:

This one goes to 11...

I remember playing with a friends guitar in high school, and asking to borrow a pick. Dude hands me a 0.38mm nylon ...thing.

I have no idea how one can play with a pick THAT flimsy. It felt like I would going to be shaving bits off with the strings. There was NO tactile feedback, it was like playing with a paintbrush.

Fold it over a couple times?
