Didn't hear much difference either and I had many cups of coffee ! ! !

I’m thinking one chooses a pick for how one likes to dance across the strings. Heavier picks have less click.. lighter ones click yet have quicker response. Sometimes it’s just your mood. Can definitely over analyze this topic. 🎸🎶🎵🎣🎧

There is definitely a difference between the picks. Make sure you're listening to this on headphones or good speakers because it's subtle but it's there. It's much more noticeable in person. Take a super thin pick and strum a little then pick up a heavy and and strum the same. Guaranteed the thinner pick sounds brighter (not necessarily better, that's where preference comes in).

Nice video! Maybe i need more coffee, but i didnt really hear much difference here. I use 5 different picks. For picking single note parts i like to use Dunlop Ultex 2.00mm for a snappy and clear sound, Dunlop Gator 1.5 has a warmer and mellower sound, Dunlop 1.14 Maxi-Grip is in between those..
For strumming i like to use thinner picks between 0.4mm - 0.6mm. Also worth mention is that It's not only the material and thickness of the pick that makes a difference, but also the way you hold it.

I bought some picks made of rosewood, blackheart, bubinga, maple and mahogany but i really didnt like the sound of these, but i sure did look good 😊

Nice demo. Gravity and Prime Tone were the best.

Seemed like the Fender picks had a very minor fuller sound. Also, really like the guitar on the back wall!

[BaktaBak]

I use Dunlop .88 or .73 Maxi my playing style/strumming.

Sick video man! I'm not sure how to contact you directly but I made a
new type of guitar pick that adds a lot more body to the sound and would
love your feedback on it. Please let me know if you'd be interested.
Thanks

Just not too important to my tin ear. Play what ya feel!

The player needs to just play, play the same thing with each pick, and for more than three seconds at a time. He talks too much.
