 Especially considering I sometimes rotate the pick so that I strum using the rounded surface. I play mostly fingerpicked as well. |

I have found strumming, especially complex patterns far easier with a turned pick but it's driving the guy I'm taking lessons from bonkers. How bad is that? It's not like I'm ever wanting to play professionally or anything like that. This is for camping and sing along stuff at parties. Nothing more.

as far as the OP i bought half a gross of Dunlop picks like 4 years ago, still have most of them and have yet to brake one. almost never drop them, but when i do its from me not gripping them not slippage. so, i dont think those would do anything for me.

Re: Awesome Guitar Picks - check them out
Take the time to learn how to use your right hand and you will be rewarded. Picks make playing fast easier to learn, but they limit your playing capacity and tone. You can do anything with your hand that a pick can do and much more.
The advantages of playing with your hands are: -It is easier to change between which strings you are playing quickly. In other words, greater accuracy when playing on many different strings in a non-strumming motion. -More flexibility of tone. You can play much softer with your fingers than you ever can with a pick, you can pop the strings (kind of like a bass player), strum with the back of your hand (the flat side of your nails) to get a strum much like a pick, and a slew of other tone adjusting techniques. -The ability to play strings that aren't next to each other simultaneously, opening your chord voicing vocabulary tremendously. This can be done with a pick, but with much more effort. -The ability to mute strings while continuing to play others is increased. This comes in handy particularly if you play the slide, but can be used for non-slide playing and also as a quality control if you accidentally have a note ringing that you don't want. It may not be an easy switch, but it is well worth it. There are several techniques for fingerpicking that you can research, but I recommend putting in the time to find your own system. Also, look up videos of Derek Trucks playing guitar. If you don't play slide at all then try a few videos until you find one of him playing with out the slide. It is a great demonstration of how you can use your right hand to really improve your capacity.
