I finally ditched the plastic and composite and went organic (metal.) Found a small custom maker "Zenfire" and I haven't used anything else since. These things are incredible.
I've used the Dava picks (plectrums) for a few months. I do like them but they wear really fast (I play a lot). I've had to replace the one on my main guitar twice already. The ones I used before never Never wore (Dunlop nylon) but I'd say the Dava sounds and feel better. I've just ordered some Dunlop primetime 1.3s to try.
You are missing the point of the Dava pick's design. It realy has 3 zones ( indicated by the the 3 strips in the middle on the rubber) which allows you to have a light medium and thick pick in one. Zo gripping it more to the tip gives you no flex like a heavy pick, grip it in the middle gives you flex compared to a medium pick and more away from the middle it flexes like a light pick. The rubber gives you a great grip also.
I hate picks that flex/bend. If you're OCD, trying to find the perfect pick that gives you the best sound, but which also glides from string to string, but which is also pointy enough to facilitate extremely fast trill picking will drive you insane. Anyway... I'd say the hotel key card sounded the best. lol
One time (years back) in a Hard Rock Cafee I picked up a novelty set of picks with a logo and everything just for laughs...I swear those are some of the best picks I played.They are all the same medium light gauge and hold up great. I have no clue as to who is making them and from what material but they are great...
Thank you Rob I think I'm going to order me one of those I'm not going to say which it's a secret and try it out okay fine it's an egg I'm going to try using one of my eggs hahaha
Johnny Hiland uses Dava's. I've been meaning to get some for ages. They look good & I've heard folks say they are boss. I once got given a red Jim Dunlop pick from Jesse Pintado of Terrorizer & Napalm Death & it was soft & thin as fuck! This shocked me as most thrash death metal grindcore guys use solid picks right? Weird. Sadly Jesse is no longer with us but his music will live on. R.I.P. Jesse lad. RIP it the fuck up!
I use the Dunlop jazz 3 xl. I used the carbon which I like for it's grip n tone but they where small. I wanna find a jazz style but a tad bigger then the XL series. I see the jazz starter pack n Dunlop has a true 12 pick mix pack for 4 bucks. I might get the mix pack
That sounds eggcelent Rob! :( Yeah I know....bad pun...I'll get me coat. Taxi!! Lol. ;) I always thought that fingernails sound way better than anything out there. If they could make a synthetic fingernail soundalike they would sell like hot cakes. Even big sweaty thick toenails for those that like a thick pick! Ha...
My first plectrum was a purple Dunlop Big Stubby that I found on the ground, in the parking lot outside the local guitar shop. At the time, I was still a drummer, but I picked up that plectrum, and I kept it. When I did start playing guitar, well, I do have this Big Stubby, so that is what I used for a few months. Then, someone gave me a few of those shark fin plectrums. I am all about weird and oddball stuff, so I instantly fell in love. Even today, I STILL use shark fins. (On a side note, I still have that purple Dunlop Big Stubby.)

Fender medium celluloid for electric, Fender thins for acoustic. I used to use much heavier picks (the light purple Tortex ones), but I also used to hold them with two fingers and my thumb for more control.
Lol, been using Dunlop's 3.0mm Big Stubby, altho I'm going to try a similar style pick from Gravity. 😊 A custom shop Razor (3mm, Big Mini, fluorescent green, with a round hole). 😉 Getting tired of having to replace the Stubby every few months due to wear on the edge...😡

Metal is still processed like plastic.
I personally love my dunlop .88 m3 picks. I don’t leave much pick sticking out from under my fingers, because I grip really hard
me: mom, can I buy a pick?
mom: no, we have a pick at home
the pick at home: 15:21
Those picks sound pretty good, but I've been playing with an egg too long to change now!
I thought Rob was an Anderton’s guy. Did he switch allegiances?
Hymns for Guitar yeah I keep thinking this too?!
Hey! Rob works with lots of people. We are really enjoying with him in 2019 and until hopefully eternity.

Switched to Dava control picks recently. Absolutely my favorite. Used Dunlop Max grip for years. Never going back.
I have also recently switched to Dava picks. I won't be moving on any time soon!
//Andy
@@ThomannsGuitarsBasses right! Perfect for plenty of styles and I find they work great for bass as well

I tried a lot and always return to Dunlop Tortex .73. On acoustic I use Dunlop Nylon .60 or .73. I can't play with big stiff picks.
I have tried metal, wood, and a sea shell as picks. All give you a different sound.
Why am I reminded of that show "Between two Ferns'
Rob, how long do those Gravity picks last you?
This is the most useful video I've seen on picks yet, I wish I found all this info earlier in life hahaha thank so much for sharing your knowledge!

never keep all your eggs in one guitar!
This genuinely made me laugh out loud. Nice one!

Rob, I tried using the hotel key card but every time I sit down to shred all the lights and power go out. What am I doing wrong?
stick a supermarket shopping clubcard in the hotel wall socket and you will be grand ;)

I use the egg yolks works wonders

Dear Chappers...I think you took “chicken picking” a little too literally!
GGGRRRRRREEETINGSS
Basically Rob recomends expansive picks cause they last the longest😂
Dont get me wrong I'm a sucker for high end picks cause their the best

Whats the back story? This vid looked a bit weak and forced.

Big sweaty thick toenails is a damn good name for a Death Metal Band, y'know? //Simon
Rob doesn't know the difference between Tortex, Nylon & Ultex? Ultex is easiest to play but chirps the most

No egg shaker pick? that's the best and worst all boiled into one cool unit but I'll stick with my tortex 1.00 and the purple 1.14s :)

Hi Rob the Gravity your signature 2 mm is my favorite Pick ❤🎸👍👍
Hufschmid plectrums give you 100% more tone in your fingers.

Hawk TB 4 pick rules!!! great sound, grip and durability!!
I've been using the egg pick for years. You cannot get a pick better than that.
due to some Guitars sounding like Egg-Slicers, playing them with an Egg may give them a meaning - electric Egg-pealers ;) ;)

Lovely sounding guitar.
That strat sounds amazing man ❤

Jazz III for years.. A friend gave me a bone one last week and immediately became the pick-king since then.
Same here man. Except I bought my bone pick...
My friend gave me a bone once. We don't speak of it any more.
