Being Picky

[billroper]

When I bought my new guitar, the store gave me some new Taylor picks. I have decided that I rather like them, but they are quite pricey on the Taylor site.

I went browsing on Sweetwater and discovered that they are, in fact, rebranded Dunlop Primetone picks. So now I have some more of them. :)

Aside from having a good feel on the strings, they have a permanently embossed grip. I am becoming fond of picks with a grip. I get fonder of a grip every time I drop a pick while playing...

I feel that way about the Jim Dunlop picks I have. I don't recall the name Primetone but I'm guessing they're pretty much the same thing.

I use several gauges of Dunlop nylon picks. They have a rough surface, so they are easier to hold on to. I also use a jar of sticky stuff that you can get in a sporting goods store in the winter when my hands are dry. Just a bit on thumb and index finger and I have much fewer problems holding a pick.
