These. Pliable yet nice grip.

Anybody remember the stylus pick?


The idea is that the special shape of the pick forces you to really only use the tip of the pick - and the more you do that, the faster you'll be able to pick because the actual distance of the movement decreases.

that makes sense after looking at the design, less a pluck and more a strike, wouldn't mind trying one

Heavy to extra heavy, doesn't matter the brand. Basically, if I can easily bend it, it's rubbish.

I use a pick and my free middle, ring, and pinky fingers for rhythm and comping.

No Mr. Zappa, you use steel picks only actually.

Dunlop Fins. Great shape, great speed and accuracy for alternate picking. 
All the best freaks are here, please stop staring at me. Marillion - Freaks (1988).
