I Use a Dunlop .58mm with a gator head on it (super durable and great feel all around). I do the previously mentioned and use bout 1/4 to an 1/8th and the index which ,IMO , provides some interesting sounds (ie: I like the growl I get from the low e when smakin it with the index).

Those are called Gator Grips, in case you didn't know. They're great picks, but in my opinion, wear down quicker than tortex do..

TORTEX .60. thats the one babies, you can strum your face off and still no buzzing!

I agree TORTEX is the way to go, I believe I use the .70 or somthin like that, the Yellow ones. Orange is better for strumming, its a little thinner. And im not asshole either, I just tell it like it is.

Ok i'm a f'n retard. Wtf are you guys talking about using your index finger? You mean using it w/o a pick? I never really took lessons or watched anyone up close play guitar so I know I've developed some bad habbits while playing. The most noticable one is my facial expressions, heh. But anywho, I don't think I do this finger thing.
