Pick Hints and Tips When Learning How To Play The Guitar by Richard Larcombe
Over the years guitar picks have been made from metal, tortex, wood, bone, plastic, rubber, felt, and even stone. It has been suggested, although some guitarists may disagree, that light flimsy picks simply don't sound very good. When learning how to play the guitar pick choice is something not to be ignored.
Probably the most famous and easily recognizable name on a pick is the logo of Fender Guitars. Steve Clayton was the first pick manufacture to create multi-coloured imprinting for guitar picks. The company that made the first plastic pick in 1922, D'Andrea Picks, created most of today's classic guitar picks shapes.
Bass players tend to prefer thick picks because their strings are far thicker than those of guitarists. Jazz guitar players tend to use quite heavy picks, as they also tend to favour heavy gauge flat-wound strings.
However, nylon loses its flexibility after 1-2 months of extensive use, becomes fragile and breaks, so guitarists that use thin nylon picks should have several spare picks just in case. Many players will often have spare picks attached to a microphone stand or slotted in the guitar's pick guard.
A guitarist can easily adjust the pick tip's flexibility by applying various pressure to this central section.A hard grip yields hard pick (thicker one) to play lead, a soft grip yields soft pick (thinner one) to play rhythm. Picks wear out with use, and many guitarists prefer the playing "feel" of new picks. Usually, a guitar pick is hidden within a player's hand, so a casual viewer may think that a guitarist plays with bare hands. This is something to practise when learning how to play the guitar.
We all know that picks come in all shapes, sizes, colours, materials and thickness but is there that much difference between them all. Genuine tortoiseshell picks used to be quite common but since an international ban on their manufacture and distribution in the mid-70 they are virtually impossible to locate.
Some players prefer the brash, bright sound that metal picks offer. Most nylon or plastic guitar picks are brittle and cause a clicking sound off of the strings when played. Thinner picks are recommended for electric guitar playing where artificial amplification is present.
Grip Picks have specially designed grooves to help them stay in your fingers. Thick picks offer greater mass and therefore greater tone and volume, and with the sharp bevel they can be as snappy and crisp sounding as a 1mm pick. Although there are many special or custom shapes, the majority of picks come in three different styles: standard, triangular, and the tear drop shape. The type of material you choose will affect the picks durability. Those who play with picks protect their fingers from becoming calloused from strumming on the guitar for hours at a time.

Frequently Asked Questions...
Which Warrior Mac Daddy stick should I get? The green one (clear grip) or the blue one (nipple grip)?
I am buying a Warrior Mac Daddy hockey stick but I don't know if I should get the blue one with nipple grip or the green one with clear grip (no grip). All I have ever had has been soft grip so I don't know what each one feels like. Price is not a factor but I have decided to go with the Mac Daddy so please don't recommend other sticks. Please tell me which one you would buy. Thanks
Answer:
I would go with the one without grip personally. I stickhandle a lot and that involves moving my hand around on my stick. Grips make it a lot harder to slide my hand up and down the stick.
What I would recommend is that you find a local pro shop that carries both, and go in and try them out with your gloves on so you know how they feel.
But I still have to say that I would always recommend a two piece stick, but if you have the money to burn if it breaks, go right ahead.
