I like to use a lot if stuff. Heavy if I am rockin with distortion, maby a light pic if I am playing quietly or no pic sometimes. I stick with a med pic mostly. I heard that they are comeing out with a rubber pic. They say it sounds like it dose with your finger. They also have felt pics that sound somewhat like that as well. The felt ones have been out for a long time but the rubber ones arn't out yet. I go to the music store alot so I will tell you when you can get um if you want.
