I suppose I could have left it at that but my suspicion is that if feel is the issue, technique will be part of the solution. I tend to read between the lines (particularly with beginners) and provide additional information that I know might help the asker solve their problem (which is not always what they think it is). | |

I thought the OP was mainly focusing on the sound of it - so it's probably a different interpretation of the question at hand? But in the end the solution is clear: try everything! | |

There are 100's of different types for different tastes, and purposes. I can play with any pick just like I can play any guitar. But I have very strong preferences and I use different picks for playing different things. If you like the picks you make from credit cards - great! In the long run it will save you money. I have tried them and would only use them if there was no other choice. I don't think tone is the issue. I think feel is the issue. | |
