  • I have been experimenting a ton with picks in the last few months. I bought three Bluechips, an assorted pack of TUSQ picks, and Taylor’s “Darktone series” pick tin.

    My favorites are, in order:

    1. Dunlop Tortex. Old reliable. Just feels like home.

    2. TUSQ picks. They are the most resonant picks I have ever used; they make month old strings sound like a fresh set. They also come in three different sound profiles, bass-heavy, treble heavy, and “warm” i.e. mids heavy. The differences are noticeable, and it feels like having an analog way to EQ my guitar. For the money they are the best

    3. Taylor Thermex Pro from the Darktone series pick tin. It is the pick that gets closest to the sound of a fingernail

    4. Bluechip - fancy but kinda underwhelming. They are definitely great picks but I’m not feeling the hype after using them for three months
