  • They only pick that I hear an actual difference with is the Fender Medium Celluloid picks. They sound very bright and chime-like

  • Blue Chip picks are legendary for a reason. Loads of Bluegrass flat pickers swear by them. For top players every little 1-2% chance for improvement here or there will actually be meaningful. For lots of players the $35 pick is lipstick on a pig.

  • Buy a 35$ blue chip and you wont lose it. Its a feeling thing too, might not sound all that different but sure does glide across those strings

  • As a prehistoric creature from the mesozoic era who's 30ft tall… I closed my eyes after watching twice and waited for when my ears could detect a difference in the loop.. I must have let it loop 20 times, I really can't pick up a difference between them. Like, at all.

  • picks do have a different attacks but you cant change up what you're playing when making a comparison you're adding in another variable

  • It does sound better. The first pick wasn’t smooth, made it sound tinny. I wonder if the thickness was the same exactly

    Not when <$1 picks are a thing

  • Slight difference because the Tortex material is relatively soft and warmer sounding but Dunlop makes a bunch of picks that are stiffer and brighter like the Ultex and Primetone

  • Wrong kind of playing to demo it. But the BCs are awesome. No scratchiness at all

  • To be clear: pick preferences are WAY more about how it feels in your hand and how well you can wield it for your style of playing than their actual sounds. BUT I will say that I KNOW I have picks that sound much more different than one another than the selection in this video. He never really switched materials, year different formulas and shapes. But a wooden pick vs steel vs copper vs bamboo vs composite etc does make a huge difference (relatively) on the sound. This is much more apparent on an electric guitar than an acoustic.

  • I don’t care how much money you have. If you spend more than $0.50 on a guitar pick, you’re a clown.

  • Man, it's such a subtle difference as a listener that I don't think it's worth it.

    Just buy whatever is comfortable to play, and stick with that.
