Odd question but... What kind of pick do you use?

So you're amazed as to how Dave's rhythm guitar slaps and strums so "perfectly"...but you can't. Ask all things about Dave and his guitars here.

I like the orange .6mm Tortex...es. I used Fender mediums for a while but it got annoying having to remove a lodged piece of pick plastic everytime I tried to play something remotely percussive.

I also use the dunlop tortex, i just moved up from the red(.5mm, i think) to the orange...i've been switching back and forth between the orange(.6mm) and the green(.88), depending on what i'm playing.

Dunlop Tortex Orange. They're a good medium pick and they don't slide around as much between your fingers like Fender mediums.

I use several kinds, bt predominantly Dunlop Nylon .60mm because the tip is more flexible and te nylon is easier to grip with not so much clickyness as the other one - Dunlop Tortex .60mm Black, which I use predominantly for volume, but can be used for finesse if handled properly.

That being said, 9 times out of 10, I've got a Tortex .46mm Pink when I'm practicing. I think that's because there's a case of them around here somewhere, so it doesn't matter how many I lose.
