[–] AbsolutePain@lemmy.world [S] 5 points 7 months ago (2 children) I've seen people use these ones. How soft/rigid are they? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] lIlIlIlIlIlIl@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago All different based on color. I like orange for picking and red for strumming permalink fedilink source parent [–] MyFeetOwnMySoul@lemmy.ca 2 points 7 months ago The blue ones (1mm is blue, the thicknesses are colour coded) have a soft, kinda velvety/matte texture, and are fairly rigid; they're noticeably stiffer than a standard 1mm plastic pick. I find them to be a very good balance of nimble maneuverability (because they're so thin, and don't get caught on the strings), and positional predictability (because they don't deflect very much, so I know where the tip of my pick is gonna be after I pick a note. permalink fedilink source parent
