Why you guys tend to go towards the thicker picks? They’re boomy. Ok for solos, shit for rhythms.

I fucking hate super thick picks; those big stubby's etc sound and feel like shit to me (only exception is the rubber wedgie picks on bass but that's a specific use-case thing)

.88 is about as high as I go but .73 is basically my ideal and most used (yellow tortex)

Chuck used .88 Tortex. As did James. And many other great rhythm players too.

Thicker picks pull string if dig too deep, instead of snapping off it and giving that attack. And add boominess to attack to my ear.

I agree, it’s the “bounce” off the string that makes percussive and tight palm mutes without the strings flopping around, killing your rhythm and going out of tune. I use .73 max

I agree. I alternate between 0.71 Gator Grips, 0.73 Flow Tortex, and 0.73 Snarling Dogs nylon.

Have you tried 1mm Tortex? You really can play them pretty hard, even .88s too. I am not talking like 0.70 stuff. Also there are pointy TIII Tortex, which are great!

I just ordered 1.14mm flows. I think this is a good compromise. Like a Heroin addict, I need to get well one last time. I think this 1.14 could be a good gateway drug.

You gonna like it 👍🏻

Also why you chose Flows? You liked them more than TIII? They are a bit smaller, and I prefer standart size, which TIII are.

Let me know how you like them! 🤘🏻

I wanted to try something different than sharps. I dont know what t3 is, but i have big hands, so i cant use jaz iii very well.

My hands arent as big as @DanTravis62 though. His hand reaches from the 1rst to 22nd fret.

I’m currently infatuated with the Dava Grip Tips and Jazz Tips. This is the only instance where I’ll only use the tip

It would appear I accidentally ordered the wrong pick. I got some jazz 3 xl 1.14 and they are fucking AWESOME.
I had someView attachment 371819 .88s laying around also and tried them. They are good. But the jazz 3 xl is where it is.

Jazz III xl Tortex is quite close to Tortex Flow and TIII, so no surprise it works 👍🏻
