Dunlop Tortex Standard Guitar Picks

I always try a new pick to find something better. But after more than 100 I have bough, this 0.60 standard orange Tortex pick is always my bread and butter. I always come back to this one eventually. John Frusciante, Josh Klinghoffer, Kurt Cobain, they all use. What could be wrong?

Dunlop Tortex standard (I like the .60 gauge) - these picks really approach a standard all-around use pick (at least for me). They are not too 'floppy", not too stiff - you can choke up on them for slightly harder picking, or use the rounded edge to get a thicker/less attack sound - think Pat Metheny style. These are really great picks, I've been using them for over 20years - yikes! Best of all, these picks will 'wear out' but will never break. Back when I used Fender mediums, they would wear a bit, then the tip would break off, leaving those sharp points. I recommend these - you may have to experiment with gauges, but the Tortex is a wonderful pick!!

Ordered blues (1mm), using just one of them for a year, good sounding and feeling. And other 5 picks I've just gifted to kids and friends.

The first thing that will catch your attention would be the brilliant colours. However I find that in air conditioned rooms, these picks do not provide enough grip.

this is my main pick. i use it in the .60, .73 & .88 guages. the texture of the surface makes it easy to hold on to, and it's as durable as the day is long. the .60's are perfect for more rhythmic playing when you need a little extra flex and the .88's are great for heavier rhtyhm/lead playing. the .73 is a good in-between for rhthym & lead.

Yep they last for a while and work

After going through most popular picks and breaking quite a few the Yellow .73 picks seem to have sold me, just the right amount of attack and flex for both acoustic and electric playing!

I have been playing these picks for many years now I have yet to break one. They last forever, unless you lose them, then not so much.

They don't give that "click" sound like a plastic, nylon or other pick. I have compared them to tortoise, weg*n, and even Bl*e Ch*p, and they sound so close the same, it was a surprise. With Tortex and the 3 others I listed, you don't hear the sound of the pick, only the sound of the strings. Tortex is cheaper than the others listed so what's the best buy? Also for those who say sweaty finger make it hard to hold on to the pick, I've got a proven solution. Lay a dime in the center of your pick and take a pencil and draw around the dime. Take a 1/8" drill bit and drill one hole in the center of the dime pattern, then 1between that hole and the line you drew around the dime, then continue to drill approx. every 1/8". this doesn't weaken the pick and you've got grippers. Use a drillbit for the holes and it looks neater and your pick won't break where the holes are. Some people I know of have used "Gorilla Snot" and it works. You only need to touch your finger in the "snot" though, or you will be able to de-lint your black britches.

The texture is very comfortable, produces a good sound. The thinner sizes are excellent for strumming. They don't have too much grip though.

We all know what picks we prefer & the Green Tortex has been my go to for almost 3 decades. If you do the math it's much cheaper to buy them VIA Strings & Beyond (Especially in bulk bags of 72!) My local music shop sells 12 of them for almost $6.00 & I go through a few each day so I'm glad I found this website!

I've been using these picks for many years. They offer great feel and response on the strings, and they last FOREVER! I play well over 100 gigs per year, and I could easily get by with about 3 of these per year. The main reason I have to buy picks is because I lose them. :)

I've gone through dozens and dozens of different types of picks, in my band days I would literally shred through three or four of the Fender hard plastic picks. I've yet to have a Tortex break on me, and I tend to lose them before I wear them out. Great feel and a wide variety of thickness, I use 0.73 and 0.88 for electric guitar, 0.5 and 0.6 for acoustic, and 1.5 for bass.

I'm pretty sure these along with the grey nylons are the most widely used picks on planet earth. And for good reason. Pretty wide variety of gauges to suit different styles, the material is amongst the best of whats out there as far as durability and the ability to re-smooth the edge once its been marred from playing.

J'ai utilisé ces médiators dans mes début, 2-3 premières années je dirais, commençais avec le 0.70 ou 0.88, j'ai changer de couleur au fil du temps pour avoir des modèles plus épais jusqu'à me rendre au stade ou je voulais plus épais que 1.14. Raison principal pourquoi j'ai changé de modèle.

so cool git it now

it is rily good
