A couple of years ago, my luthier buddy showed me the difference in brightness he was getting from D'Andrea "Tats" for his acoustic work.

After a bit of research, he figured out that the difference wasn't the material, as much as the edge. They're a molded pick, with a sharp edge. Most picks are tumbled these days, and have a smoother, rounder edge.

The molded picks sound brighter and sweeter for acoustic rhythm work.

I prefer heavy-gauge delrin picks for electric guitar to give it more body, and Dunlop's thickest purple stubby acrylic picks for an effect on bass.

What picks do you use? Do you use different picks for acoustic or electric?

Well, there's
people been talking
Say they're worried about my soul
But I'm here to tell you I'll keep rocking
'til I'm sure it's my time to roll
