Plus they're hard to break, and don't bend! I like the Dunlop Tortex brand for rhythm playing, they hold up pretty well, but for leads and solos, I like these:

They are really rigid like real tortose shell and last a long time. (I also resharpen the tips occasionally) Another thing I've tried and like is after reading that Brian May always used a sixpence, i tried using a quarter. Has a really unique sound and works in some instances. I also saw on fleabay a while back, someone selling quarters that were ground to the shape of a standard pick, so I figured I'd try that too. Works great! Right now I'm really interested in trying some of these -> http://www.v-picks.com/ It seems lately tho that I mostly fingerpick and also strum a lot with just my nails. I clip my nails on my right hand with an angle on the left side up to a sort of pointed tip and works great for travis style picking and also clawhammer style. I've tried a few thumbpicks and even made my own from some heavy copper sheathing, but I like the naked thumb better. :P My favorite right now are the Dunlop Ultex 1.4.

Neil Young seems to have liked them for decades! Herco Gold Flex 50s are great picks and cheaper the more you buy. Neil Young seems to have liked them for decades!

They were 5 for $2 or something so I got a variety without knowing anything about them having an effect on the sound. I really kind of like this very small pick probably like the last one in your video. .-= Retro Hound´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.retrohound.com/country-times/" rel="nofollow">Country Times</a> =-.
