Nice, I agree. When I play my acoustic I prefer a nice thin pick but when I pick up the electric my preference is for a medium pick. I like the dunlop or the cats tongue because they stay in my fingers better.

I am curious about one thing though, I have heard you and many instructors say that medium is best for the beginner. Why is this? When I first picked up the guitar 30 years ago and now just recently, really just learning, I find it easier to play with the thin pick. I found that I tended to strum and pick too hard with the medium making it less fluid and not as soft sounding.

Any opinion?
