Hey guys! I’ll cut straight to the point with my query.
I’ve been using the 2.0mm purple Dunlop delrin guitar picks for over 3 years now and I love them. Nothing else feels quite right when economy picking etc. I’ve noticed a trend in my playing where when if I’ve been gigging/playing for long periods of time (which is typical as I am a guitar tutor), I get used to the slight pick wear. My playing then feels slightly smoother. However, I find once I go back to playing with a brand new pick, that I need to re-calibrate my technique slightly to make up for the extra tension of the un-smoothed pick. (Hope this doesn’t sound like over analysed nonsense! haha)
(ps. I am not by any means a heavy/harsh picker, but I do pick/economy pick/sweep frequently when I play)
My query is this:
1. Does this happen to anyone else?
2. Am I being too picky about Picks?
Any suggestions on solving this or should I just suck it up?
Thanks so much for taking the time to read this. Hope you’re all well!
