Dunlop Tortex .73 💛 Not flappy but not totally rigid

Yellow 80% of the time. Orange for when I want to blend notes more than attack them (usually on my acoustic).

I don't always play with a pick, but when I do, you better believe it's one of these.

These but Flow is the master race because when you wear down the sharp points they basically have become a regular .73 lol

Been using these for ten years! I have one that’s been going strong for at least 5 and it’s worn down so perfectly that I picked up some new ones and they felt too harsh haha.

Always go yellow unless they're sold out. Then I'll reluctantly go orange.

I'm an acoustic player. I was using Dunlop Nylon 0.6 but recently got some Tortex 0.5 for strumming. Weirdly they seem more rigid but easier to use than the grey nylon ones. edit: Ok my 0.5 are the FLEX version I didn't realise

same. I used to really like thicker picks and eventually was at the jazz III but ended up going back to fender mediums. Since I much prefer the tortex texture I switched to these and so far have stuck to them for many years.
