Picking At It

[billroper]

Ok, this seems counterintuitive. I'm playing around with picks of various gauges. It seems like it's easier to play softly (that is, with less volume) with a heavier gauge pick than it is with a lighter gauge pick.

Hmm.

Me too, but mine are Martin mediums.

I can't remember how I used to get by with thin picks on my 12-string (though I have the leftovers to prove I once did). Ever since I started using mediums & heavies, trying to use a thin pick again just results in the poor thing being shredded in less than one song.
