r/GuitarPicks

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that the Dunlop Tortex lime green pick is the most popular pick of all-time. Am I right?

I was looking into these and I heard they are nice.

UPDATE: I got one, I find it to be very nice and articulate, would definitely recommend.

Ive been to plenty of concerts but only recently started getting in the pit/front etc. Pretty happy to finally have some after years of nothing! Lol

Felt like being a decent human & recycling, so here we are with the end results... the profile is kind of a middle ground between a sharp & a jazz III, dimensions are 29mm x 22mm with a 4.5mm-2mm taper on the gripping surface

Jim Root’s guitar pick from the 2025 European Tour

I've tried looking everywhere, it has a cursive V inside of the circle for the logo?

Trying to identify who is on this pick. Thanks

Who is better for grip ? ( Especially when u sweat )

I got a few of these at shows and the gravity is the newest one.

Some of these are quite special to me. Most of them were random abandoned picks acquired while touring.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share some insights I’ve gained from my collection of guitar picks. Like many guitarists, I’ve spent years trying to find "the one," accumulating a variety of styles along the way. Recently, after seeing them just hidden away with my guitar supplies, I decided to put them all in a container and rotate through them constantly while playing/practicing, switching every once in a while.

This experiment led to a few realizations:

1.  Don’t overthink it: They are all great in their own way. Each has a unique character, sound, and feel, and any of them could be "the one."

2.  Play softer: Rotating picks encouraged me to play with a more relaxed grip. This has resulted in better dynamic control, cleaner playing, and improved precision and speed.

3.  Adaptability: By using different picks, I’m learning how to achieve consistent performance regardless of the tool, which has been incredibly beneficial for my playing.

I don’t want to make this too long, but I’d love to help other enthusiasts. If you have questions about specific pick types (all I own are shown in the picture) or want comparisons to help with your next purchase, please ask away! I will answer as many questions as I can to help the community, and anyone going on Google trying to find info about them, hopefully, this thread helps!

I found this guitar pick in my collection. I know it's a Dunlop tortex, but most of the logo has been worn off. I don't remember what band it is from.

I know it's a long shot but does anybody have an idea?

Pm me if you have any, you can also see my collection in my profile (Got a few more recently)

Given to me by the guitar tech during their last UK show at Alexandra palace before Keith flint died, have tried to do a bit of research into them and the text on them, do they say ALLY (maybe for Alexendra palace?) 4ly (that's what Google lens it saying) or even olly, anyway if anyone has any knowledge or ideas to help me properly ID them that would be great also can't find any other pics of them online.
