Do Guitar Picks Really Affect the Tone Of Your Guitar?

18. December 2022

Tone, timbre, ring, and sound, are some of the terms that are usually used to refer to the sound waves produced by your guitar and amp.

do-guitar-picks-really-affect-the-tone-of-your-guitar

Music doesn’t understand restrictions. So, one way for you as a guitarist of expanding your repertoire of guitar sounds is by asking yourself simple questions: 

  • Why should I change the tone of my guitar?
  • How do I change the tone of my guitar?
  • And… Do guitar picks really affect the tone of my guitar? And how?

We will cover these aspects and discuss some specific examples of guitar picks and guitar techniques and tones.

WHY CHANGE THE TONE OF YOUR GUITAR?

As a guitarist, you should not only reflect on your practice and skill improvements but also look for ways of increasing the amount of totally different sounds your guitar (in your hands!) is able to produce.

Imagine the wide palette of different sounds and effects that you would need to learn 30 songs from different genres.

The advantages of mastering ways to change the sound of your guitar playing are countless: 

  • Your compositions will be musically richer
  • You will develop your innate creativity
  • It will force you to learn new techniques
  • It will allow you to think out of the box

In other words, you will be a better guitar player.

electric-guitar-performance

HOW TO CHANGE THE TONE OF YOUR GUITAR:

Think about the “chain” of connected elements that is present when you play guitar. I like to reverse it and start from the sound source:

It starts with your guitar amp and amp settings and continues through the cable (from a specific brand and specs) and your particular effect pedals. After another couple of cables, your guitar pick-ups, circuitry, wood type, and guitar strings will play a role in the tone too. What comes after that? The guitar pick and your picking hand. Note, that also your fretting hand will have an influence on sound (string pressure).

guitar-pedals

If you replace just one element, the sound will change. 

The good thing here is that this is 100% measurable by recording the guitar. So everyone at home with a mid-class microphone can start noticing the differences. Of course, then, the microphone and audio interface will play a role on tone too! 

Now you know what to “adjust” to allow you to make the same guitar passages sound differently.

WHY USE GUITAR PICKS FOR CHANGING THE TONE?

Go again through the complete sound chain. From all the mentioned elements, guitar picks have three main advantages when your goal is changing the tone:

  • The tone changes immediately:  No necessity to plug/unplug new gear or change gear settings.
  • Cheap: With a minimal investment you are able to test dozens of products.
  • No necessity for knowledge in other areas (recording, effects, settings,...)
guitar-pick-sizes-different

Sure, using another guitar or replacing one of your pedals will have a much higher impact on tone! Nevertheless, something as simple as using another guitar pick can create appreciable differences that you will hear and enjoy.

HOW DO GUITAR PICKS CHANGE THE TONE OF YOUR GUITAR?

Guitar picks can be reduced to 4 main qualities: Material, Thickness, Shape, and Size.

These qualities define the “personality” of the guitar picks to at least 80% and they affect how guitar strings vibrate. In consequence, the different guitar string vibration patterns are different.

  • Material: 
  • Some materials like Nylon produce warmer, mellower tones. Others like Tortex, create brighter sounds.

    The material can also influence grip and flexibility.

  • Shape: 
  • Pointy guitar picks have more attack and produce brighter tones. Rounded guitar picks are especially useful for soft release and warmer tones. In techniques like strumming, rounded picks will produce less pick noise.

  • Thickness: 
  • Thin picks and some medium picks are very flexible. This quality can produce a very characteristic “snappy attack” that is not possible with very thick picks. 

    Of course, everything is interconnected: Flexibility also depends on the material and shape! Thickness affects grip and guitar pick noise too.

  • Size: 
  • The larger the pick, the more “mass” it has. Picks with high mass will produce warmer, darker, and fuller tones. Small picks tend to be much less flexible and have a more aggressive attack.

    As you can see, you have to consider all factors together. A Tortex pick is able to produce warm tones, it needs to have the right shape, thickness, and size. On the other hand, the same happens to Nylon picks: A very pointy medium-sized Nylon pick can produce brighter sounds than the average less pointy Tortex guitar pick.

    Let’s compile three ideal examples:

    IDEAL GUITAR PICK FOR THICK, FULL, AND DEFINED OVERDRIVE TONES:

    An ideal guitar pick for thick, full, and dark overdrive or distortion sound could be made of Nylon. It should have a sharp tip for note control and at least 1.5 mm thickness. The larger the pick, the thicker and fuller the tone.

    One specific example of this could be Jazz iii XL or Rombo Diamond. The last one uses variable thickness along its body to increase its total mass and create even fuller tones with high bass in the background.

    guitar-pick-metal


    IDEAL GUITAR PICK FOR WARM STRUMMING WITH REDUCED PICK NOISE

    Strumming is especially easy to perform when the tip of the guitar pick is rounded. To achieve even warmer tones the ideal strumming pick should have enough mass. The material Nylon, in combination with a medium thickness and the already mentioned rounded tip, will help reduce the pick noise.

    Depending on your preferences you can use medium thickness or heavy thickness. The last one is more difficult to master but will reduce the pick noise substantially.

    Good examples of this are Rombo Origami (medium gauge) or Rombo Waves (heavy gauge)

    guitar-pick-rounded-jazz

    IDEAL GUITAR PICK FOR CLEAR AND DEFINED TONES

    Clear and defined guitar tones are produced by pointy pick tips. Ideally, the surface of the tip is polished and has a beveled edge.

    Most guitarists prefer small picks for these kinds of tones. Sweep picking, alternate picking, pinch harmonics, and other advanced lead guitar techniques are much easier to perform with such picks.

    Depending on your preferences you can then choose different materials: Tortex will increase the attack and create very bright peaks, while Nylon will produce a fuller sound with more bass. Other materials (celluloid, carbon, wood,...) will behave differently.

    Rombo Jade is the perfect candidate for speed, control, and attack.

    CONCLUSION

    Do picks change your guitar tone? Definitely yes!

    Not only the tone is affected but other aspects like flexibility, grip, pick noise, attack, or control will be affected by the guitar pick too.

    Sound changes will remain as a way of adding some color and dynamic to your music and guitar picks can help you here. With a very low budget and little time, you can experiment and add some fresh input to your daily guitar practice.

    The most convenient way of trying many different guitar picks in just one session is by trying a variety pack containing many different guitar picks. Here you can find ours!

    Guitar-pick-variety-pack-different-plectrums

    Why a guitar pick variety pack is a great choice for beginner and advanced guitar players

    10. December 2022

    1- What is a Guitar Pick Variety Pack

     A Guitar Pick Variety Pack is a set of at least three different guitar picks aimed to contain different shapes, sizes, materials, or thicknesses of plectrums. 

    There are other common names for this type of guitar pick set, like “Try out Mix,” “Guitar Pick Mix Set,” or “Guitar Pick Box.” Some variety packs are focused on specific guitar areas like a “Heavy Gauge Variety Pack,” thought to be used by advanced players or “Beginner’s Variety Pack” containing medium and thin guitar picks.

    guitar-pick-variety-pack-different-thickesses

    On guitar picks, qualities like thickness, shape, size, and material play a pivotal role in the guitar tone, sustain, grip, or pick noise.

    Therefore, it is not only about the personal preferences of the player but also about the techniques you want to develop. Your hands do an arduous job, give them the proper tools they need.

    2- Reasons why a Variety Pack is a good idea

    REASON ONE - It is the fastest and cheapest way of changing your guitar tone

    Think about it: The guitar, strings, amp, cable, and effects pedals are all pieces of the guitar gear that play a role in tone. Surprise: guitar picks too!

    Use a rounded thick nylon pick and you’ll get mellower, darker, and thicker tones. Use a pointy medium Tortex guitar pick and your tone will be as bright as you can imagine.

    It only takes two seconds and the cost of a coffee to change your pick and increase your tone spectrum. Larger tone repertoire means larger versatility.

    Music is about staying dynamic, and monotony kills dynamics. Therefore, your most logical step as a guitarist is to find ways of expanding your repertoire of tones and techniques. This happens with practice and the right guitar gear.

    playing-guitar-man-black and white

    REASON TWO - The joy of exploration

    Music theory, speed exercises, precision exercises, and warm-ups all have one thing in common: They focus on improvement, repetition, and perfection.

    However, performance is not everything and sometimes we should focus on the joy of exploration.

    The greatest ideas happen when we achieve a “flow” state, also known as the “zone.” This applies to guitar too! So, why not relax for a day, test some new pieces of gear, spark some creativity by playing around some guitar phrases, and then see what happens without planning too much and having the pressure of achieving one specific performance milestone?

    Chose 4-5 different picks, turn on the amp, and give yourself a two hours break by enjoying the music you are playing now.

    PS: Don’t forget to turn off your phone!

    REASON THREE - Develop specific skills

    Try to perform your speed exercise with a large, worn-out, thin guitar pick. Let’s say 0.35 mm.

    You will face one of these three scenarios:

    • You are slower than usual.
    • You are as fast as usual but your technique is bad.
    • You are slower and your technique is bad.

    As in every discipline, using the right tools is the key to success.

    “Modern Guitars” are attributed to Spanish musician, Antonio de Torres Jurado. He was a luthier, and in the mid-1800s, he began creating the style of guitar that would rise to all modern guitars.

    playing-guitar-man-black and white

    Imagine then how immense the number of available guitar techniques that had more than a dozen decades to be developed is. From strumming to hybrid picking, palm mute, sweep picking, or down picking, all these techniques have different requirements, and different requirements can be fulfilled with different tools.

    In our article, “7 essential guitar pick techniques,” we have summarized some of the most common techniques.

    REASON FOUR - Different instruments

    Sure, the average guitar player owns a red Stratocaster with 09 strings and plays classic rock.

    But what about the rest of us? The 7 strings shredders, the acoustic unplugged fans, the indie effect experts, the experimental music lovers, the metal-heads, the bassists using picks, and the jazz/bossa relaxed musicians out there?

    We all deserve to have a choice according to our requirements.

    electric-guitars-color

    Personally, I like to play bass with a medium pick (Rombo Prisma), and I love the warm tones of Rombo Horizon for guitar reverb phrases on my telecaster. However, when I feel like using the thickest metal distortion ever, I choose Rombo Diamond.

    Different guitar pick shapes, sizes, materials, and thicknesses create a widely broad tonality and usability ranges that I need to keep my motivation up!

    REASON FIVE - A fresh input kills routine!

    Did you use the same guitar pick for the last 20 years? Well, it’s never too late to get a little bit of fresh air and try something new.

    Even the riff you have played 1000 times will sound different and you might notice that there are some nuances on “pick feedback” that can make your sound more fun and interesting.

    What is the worst that can happen? In the worst case, you will discover a guitar pick that you prefer more than your usual! Go take that risk :-)

    REASON SIX - A Guitar Pick Variety Pack is a great gift

    Guitar players have a lot of things going on in their heads: the next gig, one unfinished song composition they started some weeks ago, the speed rates of their last practice, and more.

    guitar-gift

    A Guitar Pick Variety Pack is a great gift for beginners, intermediate, or advanced players. Guitarists love trying new gear because it is a way to spark some creativity and explore tonalities.

    A variety pack is a super affordable option for a small, but elegant gift to make a guitarist smile and feel excited for the next practice day.

    There are many different gift options from Rombo:

    • Guitar Pick Variety Pack
    • Guitar Pick Gift Box
    • Guitar Pick Variety Bundle

    guitar-pick-gift-box-deluxe-pack-premium-picks-rombopicks

    If only one of the guitar picks is chosen as the new favorite one, your friend will be thankful for life!

    REASON SEVEN - Reflecting on your guitar tone and level

    Even if you don’t like the picks included in the variety pack, they will have a positive effect on your playing.

    You will reflect and confirm why you had chosen your current pick in the past and what the advantages of it are. You will reflect on your guitar tone and the nuances of guitar pick feedback and pick noise.

    These experiences accumulate, and after years of exploration, you start having a sixth sense of “feeling” your instrument, your preferences, and music in general.

    What do you do with your new picks? Well, if you don’t like them, give them to a friend that could need inspiration!

    3- Who can profit from Guitar Pick Variety Packs (Spoiler: Everyone)

    From the reasons above, we can take away a clear lesson: It doesn’t matter if you are a beginner or an advanced player, the advantages of trying a Guitar Pick Variety Pack are always there.

    Why beginners profit from Guitar Pick Variety Packs:

    • Develop new skills.
    • Develop a sense of exploration and identify tone nuances.
    • Understand that different techniques need different requirements.
    • Understand that the guitar path is a long one and that not everything is performance.

    Why intermediate and advanced players profit from guitar pick variety packs:

    • Expand the spectrum of techniques.
    • Discover an unexpected tonality change.
    • Focus on one specific technique.
    • Joy of exploration.

    4- Examples of a guitar pick variety pack

    One example is our own guitar pick variety pack containing:

    - 1 Rombo Classic | 0.45 mm

    - 1 Rombo Origami | 0.75 mm

    - 1 Rombo Prisma | 0.8 mm

    - 1 Rombo Crisp | 1 mm

    - 1 Rombo Waves | 1.25 mm

    - 1 Rombo Horizon | 1.4 mm

    - 1 Rombo Diamond | 2 mm

    - 1 Rombo Jade | 2.3 mm

    It is not only thickness that is everything. In order to make these picks more understandable for you, we have created four metrics: Attack, Flexibility, Tone, and Techniques. Here an example:

    guitar-pick-thick-sweep-picking

    With this information, and in combination with the description of the pick and the technical drawing, we give you a very precise picture of the qualities of our guitar picks.

    We also have a specific set for beginners with the “Beginners Guitar Pick Gift Box”:

    And a specific set for intermediate/advanced players.

    5- Conclusion

    A Variety Pack is not only an excellent gift for your musician friends, but also for yourself if you are looking to explore tones, develop specific skills, or just need fresh air and try new guitar gear.

    Different qualities like shape, thickness, or material, make guitar picks very different tools for different requirements. You will learn a lot in the process of testing them and every fresh input can help keep your motivation at the highest level.

    The worst case: You will discover your new favorite pick!

    Common Guitar-related Injuries and how to Avoid Pain when Playing the Guitar

    25. June 2022 1 Comment

     

    guitar-related-injuries-avoid-and-prevent

    Playing the guitar is fun and requires numerous hours of practice. Sometimes guitarists find themselves developing pain in different parts of the body such as their wrists, back, neck, forearm, and/or fingers. 

    Guitarists underestimate the dangers of injuries. According to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, in recent surveys, nearly three-fourths of professional musicians reported past injuries and pain that affected their playing.

    Every guitarist I know underestimates the risks and frequency of injuries caused by playing an instrument. As with many repetitive activities (like sports), you can prevent some injuries by understanding the root cause. Being aware of this is the only way you can commit to your guitar practice and have a worry-free (and pain-free) guitar-playing routine.

    In this article, we will cover the following topics:

    • Reasons for injuries caused by guitar playing
    • Common guitar injuries and symptoms
    • How to avoid injuries and pain when playing the guitar

    Disclaimer: This article is not medical advice and is not a replacement for diagnosis or treatment by a qualified medical professional. Our goal is to advise you of some preventive methods to help you avoid injuries in the first place.

    1- Reasons for injuries caused by playing the guitar

    Playing the guitar, there are many sources of injuries that can be overlooked. 

    In most cases, the pain caused by playing the guitar starts from a combination of some of these reasons:

    • Practice time
    • Bad posture
    • Too much pressure on the fretboard
    • Bad finger technique
    • Lack of a warm-up routine#
    • Avoiding breaks and fatigue
    • Weight of your guitar
    • Prior non-guitar-related injury aggravated by playing the guitar
    • Genetics (like genetic chronic back pain that can be promoted by playing the guitar)  

    In chapter 3, we will discuss how to prevent injuries and pain caused by guitar playing and will explain some “best practices” related to these reasons.

    2- Common Guitar Injuries and Symptoms

    Guitar injuries are serious because they can take guitar players out of the game permanently. There are many examples of these tragedies along with the history of music and their reason is always the same—underestimating the signals that your body sends to you.

    guitar-injury

    If you are experiencing pain in some of the following areas, your body is trying to tell you that something is wrong. In that case, going to the doctor is the best option. If you want to learn how to prevent these injuries, go to chapter 3.

    Most injuries can be categorized as RSI or Repetitive Strain Injury. RSIs are often long-term injuries that won't go away easily. These are directly associated with specific activities that involve repetitive movements. Guitar learning is all about repetition.

    If you are experiencing pain in any of the following areas, our recommendation is to take a break for a few days and visit the doctor to ensure things aren’t more serious than they seem on the surface.

    2.1- Pain in the forearm when playing the guitar:

    Unlike what many guitarists think, forearm injuries are not only common for the fretting hand but also for the strumming one. If your hand position is tight, your forearm muscles are likely to tighten up too.

    guitar-playing-pain-forearm-tendonitis-lesion

    Putting too much pressure on the fretboard or holding the guitar pick with too much tension can develop into tendonitis.

    Tendonitis is the inflammation of the tendons—the tissue that connects muscles and bones together and is involved in the function of moving your body properly.

    Symptoms are pain, swelling, and motoric problems like limited hand movements. Many guitarists describe it as “the forearm feels like an old rubber band".

    2.2- Pain in the hand area when playing the guitar. Wrists and fingers:

    We are not talking about fingertips pulp pain known by every beginner guitar player without calluses. Those develop over time, making guitar playing comfortable at some point.

    The main issue in these areas is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome that not only affects guitar players, but also any kind of activity that involves fast, precise, and repetitive finger and hand movements like pianists, hairstylists, video gamers, etc.

    guitar-playing-injury-forearm-pain

    Again, the tendons are involved as in many movement injuries. The flexor tendons that go from the fingertips to the forearm can be easily stressed. 

    Symptoms are pain, weakness, or motoric problems like limited hand movements.

    2.3- Pain in the elbow when playing guitar:

    The famous "tennis elbow" is also a guitarist's nightmare. Technically, this is also an issue that concerns the tendons, and its correct name is "lateral epicondylitis." 

    The main symptoms are pain when gripping the fretboard or pain on the outside edge of the elbow.

    As in most problems related to the tendons, the first symptoms are very subtle, and this can be ignored by ambitious guitar players who want to add some extra practice to their daily routines. If you are starting to feel this, the best way to prevent it is to have a rest for a couple of days and visit the doctor if the pain persists.

    2.4- Pain in the back and shoulders when playing the guitar:

    A lot has been said about posture, and this has a simple reason. Good posture habits can save you from experiencing lots of pain.

    The problem with playing the guitar is that you need to position yourself in a bad posture to actually see what your fretting hand is doing properly. When you focus on the movements of your hands, it is very easy to forget what the rest of your body is doing, and you might slouch or sit with your back curved with no tension on it. 

    Back pain is dangerous because everything here is connected. So symptoms can appear on the shoulders, lower back, upper back, neck, and in other areas. This depends on many individual factors.

    Fact is, this can be prevented by practicing good posture and holding the guitar closer to you as we will discuss in chapter 3.

    2.5- Pain in the neck when playing the guitar:

    This problem is very common among ambitious beginners that want to scale their skills fast. 

    A combination of three things causes the pain:

    • Looking to your left for hours (or right if you are left-handed). As a beginner, you cannot practice without looking at your fretting hand.
    • Fatigue of the neck muscles is caused by a lack of endurance. You are a beginner, so you did not have enough time to adapt to this new environment and movement ranges.
    • Last but not least, lack of experience to estimate the reactions your skeleton and muscles might have.

    3- How to avoid Injuries and Pain when playing the Guitar: 

    On an Instagram survey we performed with 455 participants, 64% reported having had some injuries in the past. This means almost two-thirds of the guitarists that participated have experienced some pain or lesions. You are lucky if you are amongst the 36% injury-free guitar players.

    guitar-injury-survey-instagram

    Simple actions can make a huge difference in your playing and help you avoid injuries and pain when playing the guitar:

    3.1- Warm up before playing the guitar:

    Playing at even semi-intense levels is stressful on the arms, hands, and the back and shoulders, just like a gym workout would be. So you need to treat it as a sport. 

    Warm-up can be something as easy as stretching your fingers or starting off your session by playing some techniques that aren’t as demanding as your current guitar level.

    warm-up-guitar-playing

    The cool thing about warming up is that once you start playing, your muscles are already prepared to deliver their best performance.

    We have summarized our seven favorite warm-ups HERE.

    3.2- Proper guitar technique, posture, and guitar position:

    I am a big fan of self-learning. I have used self-learning techniques for foreign languages, technical skills, software, and cooking. However, in guitar, and especially in terms of avoiding injuries, I cannot repeat it enough: get a teacher.

    A professional experienced teacher can help you not only develop your skills and define your learning path but also avoid and correct bad posture, too much finger tension, wrong guitar position, and other bad habits such as slouching when playing the guitar.

    guitar-lesson-correct-posture

    My recommendation if you do not have a teacher:

    • Go for 2-3 private lessons that only focus on posture, technique, and guitar position
    • Practice as per the advice of the teacher in front of a mirror 

    Sure, it will cost you some extra money, but it will prevent future problems that have a higher impact on your life than a couple of bucks.

    3.3- Play guitar with less tension:

    Typical tension areas are the forearms, fingers, and back.

    What I did to avoid this is playing simple chords and phrases that I knew well and, while playing, concentrating on other areas of my body: is my back straight? Am I placing too much tension on the fretboard? Am I holding my guitar pick correctly? Can I avoid turning my neck and looking left? 

    Some hand tension can be avoided by holding the guitar pick properly. If are experiencing this, you can check our article How to hold a guitar pick.

    3.4- Breaks and time management when playing the guitar:

    There is a rule of thumb amongst experienced guitar players; 50 minutes practice, 10 minutes rest.

    In the 10 minutes, you can check harmony and music theory, study some tabs or just stand up and move around to reduce your overall body tension.

    This has two advantages: 

    • It prevents injuries by giving your body a break, and
    • You will feel fresh after the break which results in higher quality practice results.

    3.5- Do not play the guitar through pain:

    If you experience some sort of pain while playing the guitar, this isn’t normal. Stop playing immediately and take a break, then evaluate whether you should go to the doctor or the physiotherapist.

    It does not make sense to keep playing for a little improvement if you are going to be unable to play for eight weeks after the injury starts being serious. Remember, prevention saves time.

    3.6- Play sport:

    Having good musculature in other areas of the body helps a lot when playing guitar: 

    • Muscles with more endurance resist more stress.
    • Muscles that are used to exercise recover faster and fatigue slower.
    • Regular sport lowers stress levels and diminishes accumulated tensions.

    The combination of these aspects make playing sports a great alliance when it comes to guitar playing.

    3.7- Use a lighter guitar for practice if you play standing up:

    This is only logical: the less weight you put on your shoulders, the less stress you will have to handle. Some professional guitarists use light guitars for practice or even guitar stands and only use their performance guitars for their performances.

    This is especially useful for guitar teachers that usually spend their whole days with a guitar in their hands.

    3.8- Massages and ice for guitar pain relief:

    If you treat guitar playing like a sport—and with sport, I mean high-stress levels caused by muscular movements in some areas of the human body—then you need a cool down. 

    warm-up-guitar-massage-hand

    Massaging your forearms and hands or using ice and cold water to reduce possible swelling can be a very simple additional routine to include in your daily practice. Furthermore, it is proven that such techniques reduce the recovery time, resulting in better practice results the next day.

    This can also give your skin a break. If you are dealing with sweat problems when playing guitar I recommend you the article: 10 ways to avoid sweaty hands when playing guitar.

    4- Conclusion: 

    Nearly three-fourths of professional musicians reported past injuries and pain that affected their playing.

    Some of this pain disappears after a few days of rest. However, some injuries caused by guitar playing can be very harmful and in the worst case, they will kill your guitar career.

    There are simple actions that can prevent you from injuries, such as warm-ups, good posture, breaks and other common-sense actions. The good thing is that these actions are simple and do not take much time. Even better, these actions increase your learning speed.  

    My advice: Reflect on your routine and consider every chapter of this article as a checklist for avoiding a guitar tragedy. Good luck!

    Medium gauge guitar picks

    Medium Gauge Guitar Picks

    04. April 2021 2 Comments

    Medium guitar picks are the most popular choice amongst guitarists and they offer the best of both worlds, right? Well, it is not that easy.

    Guitar-picks-medium-gauge

    In our last article, “thin vs thick guitar picks”, we discussed both guitar pick thickness ranges in depth. Medium guitar picks deserve a separate analysis.

    1- Why does guitar pick thickness matter? 

    Guitar pick thickness is usually measured in millimeters and this is an attribute that can change various aspects of a pick like flexibility, tone, volume, pick noise, durability, control over single notes, and more.

    medium-guitar-pick-thickness

    The thickness of a guitar pick is for this reason considered one of the 4 fundamental attributes of a guitar pick, along with guitar pick material, shape, and size.

    2- Medium guitar pick thickness:

     Medium guitar picks range in thicknesses from 0.55 and 1 mm.

     The following is what a survey performed in March 2021 has shown. Thousands of guitarists were asked to define the following pick thicknesses:

    • The maximum thickness of a thin guitar pick
    • The minimum thickness of a thick guitar pick

    With both limits established, we obtain the thickness definition of medium guitar picks.

    medium thickness guitar pick

    The maximum thickness of a thin guitar pick was defined as about 0.55 mm by 2.292 guitarists.

    medium thickness guitar pick

    The minimum thickness of a thick guitar pick was defined as 1 mm by 1.308 guitarists.

    3- What is a medium guitar pick?

    Medium guitar picks are guitar picks with a thickness between 0.55 and 1 mm. These guitar picks are very popular because of their versatility; in some areas, they offer the advantages of both thin and thick guitar picks.

    Guitar pick medium thickness

    Medium gauge picks have the broadest flexibility range. In this pick thickness interval, the material will play the most important role when it comes to defining the flexibility of a pick.

    In other words, thick guitar picks are always stiff and rigid. With thicknesses over 1 mm, even the most flexible pick materials are stiff, and therefore the material has less influence on the flexibility of the pick. This relation creates a broad flexibility range amongst medium guitar picks, which can be very flexible or very stiff, depending on the material used.

    guitar-pick-materials

    The same effect can be applied to tone, durability, and pick noise.

    Typically, medium guitar picks are used by lead guitarists who also implement rhythm guitar techniques and look not only for an all-round compromise between single-note melodic phrases and strumming, but also potentially developing a more versatile guitar career that integrates different techniques and mixes both worlds together.

    4- Thin, medium and thick guitar picks:

    As you can see in the descriptions of medium guitar picks below, most of the characteristics have a very ambiguous statement. Since medium guitar picks are affected the most by the material properties, it is not possible to generalize these aspects for all medium thickness guitar picks.

     

    Thin guitar picks (under 0.55 mm)

    Medium guitar picks (0.55 - 1 mm)

    Thick guitar picks (over 1 mm)

    Flexibility

    Medium flexibility or stiff, depending on the material.

    Rigid/very rigid

    Tone

    Lighter tones, less bass

    Warm tones for softer materials. Brighter tones for harder materials.

    Warm/dark tones and mellow tones

    Most popular thickness. Medium thickness is used by beginners, intermediate and advanced guitarists.

    Intermediate and advanced guitarists

    This makes medium gauge guitar picks the most difficult picks to estimate without having tested them, and it is one of the reasons why we created the “guitar pick parameters” included in every product page, like in Rombo Origami.

    5- Medium guitar picks are the best picks for beginners:

    For most beginner guitar players, medium gauge guitar picks are the best option. You are in a process in which experimenting with sounds and learning new techniques will shape your profile as a guitarist in the future.

    You might change your music taste during this process or even change your guitar type. You must stay flexible and versatile to allow your skills to develop in all directions and be a more rounded guitarist.

    For this, a medium guitar pick is perfect, since you will be able to try different techniques with a pick that works very well in many different areas. After you have decided the direction of your development as a guitarist, increasing or decreasing the gauge won’t be that difficult.

    Therefore, this is statistically the best option to start with if you want to try different guitar learning paths.

    beginner guitar player

    However, there are some exceptions: Some beginner guitarists know exactly what kind of player they want to be. They know from the very beginning if their dream is to become a very technical metal player, if they prefer being an expert acoustic guitar rhythm player, or if they will focus on songwriting and not on their guitar skills.

    These examples are very rare, but they exist. In this case, you might want to consider starting with a guitar pick that has been designed for the type of skills you want to improve.

    7- Conclusion on medium guitar picks

    Each pick has a specific purpose, and you choose the pick based on the sound you want to achieve as well as other personal preferences like comfort and grip.

    Medium picks are not just the picks in the middle of thick and thin guitar picks. They are a perfect approach for those guitarists looking to develop versatility and flexibility in their learning path. 

    Due to the high influence the material has on these picks, they are the most difficult picks to estimate before testing them, and every medium guitar pick is unique. Despite this, they are the best choice for most beginner guitarists.

    However, if you have a very clear idea of the skills you want to develop in the future, you might be looking for either thin or thick guitar picks, which we discussed here.

    Thick Guitar Picks vs Thin Guitar Picks

    Thick Guitar Picks vs Thin Guitar Picks

    13. March 2021 3 Comments

    Thin guitar picks vs. thick guitar picks. This eternal battle has been a part of every guitarist's conversation for decades. It is time to finally evaluate both alternatives in depth.

     

    The thickness of a guitar pick is generally measured in millimeters, and it is an attribute that influences many physical aspects like tone and flexibility. For most players, this is considered the most important attribute when choosing the right guitar pick. 

    Thin-vs-thick-guitar-picks

    However, after doing some online research, nobody seemed to really know how thick a guitar pick needs to be to be considered as a thick or heavy guitar pick. Where is the line?

    Therefore, the first thing we did was to create a big online survey on our Instagram guitar community.

    1- What are considered Thick Guitar Picks? Thoughts from the Guitar Community

    The survey we created was online for 24 hours on an Instagram story and the participants were asked to answer two simple questions.

    Personal preferences - thick picks or thin picks?

    This question was the first one, and its aim was to see if guitar players prefer thick or thin guitar picks. Here are the results:

    Thick guitar picks vs thin guitar picks

    It seems that over two thirds of the guitar players prefer guitar picks considered as thick. Honestly, I thought there would be a 50-50 relation and this surprised me a lot.

    What do you consider as a thick guitar pick?

    This was the second question, and the guitar players could select different thicknesses they considered to be the “least thickness needed for a guitar pick to be considered as thick or heavy”.

    Guitar picks thick

    The results showed that on average, a pick must be at least about 1.0 mm to be considered as a thick guitar pick.

    These results are very interesting, since the information we found during the research claimed that a pick is considered as “thick” or “heavy” if it surpasses 0.8 mm thickness. We did not find any study or survey with more participants than ours.

    Of course, we have to consider that we do not have any way to track more specific characteristics of the participants like skill level, music preferences, guitar type, age, and so on.

    Average thickness of guitar picks over time

    Additional research on this topic showed that during the past decades, the average thickness of the guitar picks has increased substantially. Thin guitar picks are even considered as vintage by many players due to the tone they produce.

    This is no surprise, given that most modern guitar techniques and effects that require thick picks (like shredding) were non-existent during the 1950s and 1960s.

    Guitar Pick Thickness

    2- Why does guitar pick thickness matter?

    The thickness of a guitar pick is one of the most influential attributes.

    The guitar pick thickness influences:

    • The flexibility of the pick
    • The tone produced by the pick
    • Volume and body of single notes
    • The pick noise created by the pick
    • The durability of the pick
    • The control over the pick
    • The feedback you will receive from the pick

    A minimal change in the thickness of a guitar pick of only 0.2 millimeters (equal to two common paper sheets) is enough to change the properties of a guitar pick drastically.

    Thick vs thin picks

    3- Thick guitar picks vs. thin guitar picks:

    Let's pretend there are no medium guitar picks and create a clear line that divides both thickness ranges, to make the differences between thick picks and thin picks more appreciable.

    Thin guitar picks
    (less than 0.55 mm)

    Rhythm guitar, strumming, tremolo picking

    Common type of players

    Intermediate and advanced guitarists

    Beginners, acoustic guitar players.

     

    Thick picks: Summary

    Thick guitar picks will provide mellower/darker tones. The common rounded edges that can be manufactured with thicknesses over 1 mm – combined with their rigidity –  increase the bass tones and the volume these guitar picks can provide, while reducing the pick noise the pick produces.

    These picks provide more control over single notes and are usually the best option for lead guitarists.

    Thick Guitar Picks

    Most advanced guitarists prefer thick picks, because in their guitar journey they develop new guitar techniques that can be performed better using this kind of picks. Thick plectrums provide more control when it comes to single notes and complex guitar pick techniques like pinch harmonics.

    One of the biggest advantages of using heavy picks is the durability they provide. Nevertheless, the lifetime of a guitar pick is influenced by many other aspects, as we learnt in the article “Durability of a guitar pick”.

    Thin picks: Summary

    Thin picks are the best option for guitarists looking for brighter tones, especially using acoustic guitars and some strumming techniques on electric guitar.

    The flexibility of these picks limits the maximum volume that can be achieved. This can be  an advantage because it works like an analog limiter. This is especially helpful in a studio session, where the maximum volume achieved must be controlled.

    Thin Guitar Picks

    Most beginner guitar players start using thin picks because their guitar skill set at the beginning includes guitar techniques like strumming.

    Note control can be difficult with thin guitar picks. However, some players use this attribute for specific guitar techniques, like in surf music, where a super fast tremolo picking is required.

    4- Example of a thick guitar pick: Rombo Jade

    Rombo Jade is the perfect example of a thick guitar pick. Thanks to its thickness, a very large bevel edge could be implemented to be as sharp as possible, providing the precision needed when using these kinds of picks.

    Thick Guitar Pick

    The size is small, a typical attribute of thick guitar picks, and its shape ends with a very pointy guitar pick tip for maximum attack.

    5- Example of a thin guitar pick: Rombo Classic

    Rombo Classic is the thinnest Rombo guitar pick. In the middle, it is only 0.38 mm.

    This guitar pick is extremely flexible and has a medium/large size with a standard 5 mm diameter guitar pick tip.

    Thin Guitar Pick

    In spite of its thickness, the dynamic range of the pick is great. This is caused by the material used in our picks.

    6- The right guitar pick thickness for you

    I am sure you already have an idea of your favorite guitar pick thickness. In case you don’t, it is probably because you are at the beginning of your guitar journey.

    Is there a wrong guitar pick thickness to play guitar? Any pick you use to get sound out of your guitar can work, if the sound produced is the sound you are looking for. It is entirely a matter of personal preference.
    If you are a beginner guitar player, I recommend you start with something like 0.75 mm, as I described here: "Guitar Picks for Beginners"

    However, if you are an intermediate player trying to find a way to discover new guitar tones, I do not have better advice than to tell you to try many different thicknesses and start integrating other important aspects of the guitar pick in your decision, like materials, size, shape, etc...

    How to choose the right pick

    The good news is, you will probably end up having 3 to 5 favorite guitar picks which you can use for different techniques. So, enjoy the journey and be open to experimenting with different tones and textures with your guitar!

    7- Current guitar pick thicknesses at Rombo:

    For this chapter I included the new guitar picks, which will be officially released during 2021.

    As you can see on the thickness scale, there are still some slots missing (for example something like 0.6 mm), we will be filling them in the future, as we design new guitar picks.

    Guitar pick thickness

    However, we might repeat thicknesses if other aspects change a lot, for example the shape, the sharpness of the tip, the size of the pick, or other grip textures.

    8- Variable guitar pick thickness

    Another important factor to consider is that some picks do not have constant thickness along its design. But why?

    As we did our research back in 2018, we found out that designing guitar picks with variable thickness comes with many advantages.

    Let's take Rombo Origami as an example: The guitar pick tip is 0.75, but its hold area is thicker. This simple change makes the pick produce darker and mellower tones without losing much of its flexibility.

    Guitar pick medium thickness

    In the case of Rombo Diamond, the middle area (where all vertices collide) the thickness goes up to 2.65 mm. We increased this area after experiencing that the relation between the thicknesses along the guitar pick also increases the control over the pick for single notes.

    Heavy thick guitar pick

    In addition, with more thickness on a given material, you have more possibilities to introduce design elements, like the 3D geometries we use in our picks. These geometries have two positive effects: on one side, they enhance the grip of the pick because of the tilted surfaces, and on the other side, the guitar picks look very cool!

    In short, variable thickness will make your picks more versatile and give you extra control.

    9- Conclusion

    Thick picks vs. thin picks will remain a hot, trendy topic in the guitar community.

    However, if you are already an intermediate player with some knowledge about equally important aspects of a guitar pick like shape or material, spread the word to avoid confusion among the newcomers.

    We have already discussed the huge variety of different guitar picks you can find online in our article “Guitar picks online” since this can be overwhelming for some beginners.

    The best advice I can give you: love both thin and thick picks and try to understand why they are different. Both need to exist in a world where creativity and different tones and styles are needed!

    Now it’s your turn, what is your favorite guitar pick thickness?

    Guitar Picks Online - 9 main Advantages of ordering Guitar Picks Online

    02. December 2020

    Guitar picks are an essential piece of gear for every guitarist. Especially in the last two decades, the rise of the online communities has pushed the development of this product to a new level.

    But, why do guitar players order guitar picks online? What are the advantages of ordering picks online?

    We have thought about this recently and have summarized the main 9 advantages of ordering guitar picks online.


    1 - There is a huge variety of guitar picks available online

    Guitar picks can be made of everything you can imagine, out of metal, from wood pieces, out of high-tech thermoplastics, etc.

    There are lots of guitar pick makers (like us) using their knowledge to create guitar picks that differ a lot from common guitar picks or mass production guitar picks.

    The aim of these guitar pick makers is to create something unique with a specific purpose and to show their work to the world. Where can you find these people?
     
    Well, it is as easy as going to Instagram and scroll through the hashtag #guitarpick. You will find everything from handmade boutique guitar picks with high purchase value, to limited edition bundles containing unique plectrums, or even super heavy 10 mm guitar picks.
     
    Additionally, by choosing such an option, you are helping a small business that is creating these guitar picks for passion.

    2 - More information and detailed Descriptions for the Guitar Picks

    Guitar picks rarely have proper packaging with the product description.

    However, in most online shops for guitar picks, the product pages show you everything you need to know.

    Usually they display a couple of pictures of the guitar picks, inform about the guitar pick material, the thickness, the shape, and they include a detailed description of the plectrum and its features.

    In our case, we use pictures like this to condensate all the information:
     
    Guitar Pick 1 mm

    Nevertheless, we care a lot about packaging and want you to have this information in your hands as well
     
    This is the reason we created a packaging with a lot of printing area.

     

    Guitar Pick Set


    You can visit online guitar pick websites and compare products. This will make you a more educated customer that can take decisions based on facts. It will make you reflect on your guitar playing style and which necessities your guitar pick should cover.

    3 - Personal Contact with the Guitar Pick Makers 

    It is as easy as sending an e-mail or a PM on Instagram, and you will be talking directly to us, the founders. 

    Guitar Pick chat

    In the social media era, small start-ups manage their own profiles by themselves. I have had great conversations with customers from all over the world about guitar picks! We receive lots of questions every week and try to answer every private message. So far, I think we have answered 100% of the messages, or at least I have tried!

    Regarding this point: not only the customer profits from this, but also the guitar pick maker, who gets to know the customer in a more detailed way and becomes aware of the problems to solve.

    A few months ago, I talked to a customer who had purchased his guitar pick Rombo Diamond back in July 2019, directly from our first campaign on Kickstarter. After a year of playing daily, he made a new order and sent us a picture of the new pick vs. the old one.

    Guitar Pick old vs new

    That was amazing! It was a great feeling to know that somebody had spent so much time with a product we have developed and that it still worked! Also, I wonder how he could keep the pick for so many months without losing it!

    4 - Guitar Pick reviews are Gold!

    Depending on how old you are, you probably remember the time when purchasing goods on the internet was a surprise: you wouldn't know if the product was of good quality until it arrived. 

    It is very easy to find guitar pick reviews online, sometimes even on Youtube. These reviews can help you a lot. Especially if the product page of the guitar picks is missing some important information, like in the following this example, a review “Jan” left on Rombo Origami:

     

    Guitar Pick review

     

    Now, let’s suppose you want to purchase Rombo Diamond for your bass because of its guitar pick thickness. Maybe after reading this review you change your opinion!

    5 - Reviews can trigger Changes in the Design of Guitar Picks

    This point is connected to the previous one.

    Considering that the founders read the reviews, and they can have direct influence on the product, the best idea you can have is to tell them what points you like/don’t like.

    We have a very good example here in a review from Matt Samuel on the Guitar Pick Holder:

     

    Guitar Pick Review

    We received this review on the Guitar Pick Holder some weeks ago. After a couple of small workshops together, we have now designed a packaging, which we hope to implement in a couple of months.

    A simple action like this can have a big impact on the product you will get! Thanks for that, Matt Samuel!

    6 - Your Wishes will be fulfilled! 

    In our big survey from June 2020, 1552 guitarists were able to choose the names of our new guitar picks. We had some ideas for their names, but two users offered a new fresh source of inspiration when they decided to give their input and suggest new names.

    Rombo Horizon and Rombo Jade were suggested at the beginning of the survey by random users and the votes kept rolling in for those names. Two days later, these names were the winners and more customers kept voting for them until the survey finished. We will be using these names as soon as the guitar picks are launched in 2021. These two unknown participants are heros for us!

    Guitar Picks

    Some weeks ago we received an e-mail from a customer that said: “Hey guys, you should create a special edition of your guitar pick Rombo Origami in the color white, like paper origami”.

    How cool is that? Of course we will do that sometime in the future, it is such a great idea! I can already visualize the packaging with different white tones and the white guitar picks on it and I just feel extremely happy to have such a great guitar community around Rombo picks.

    7 - Online Guitar Pick Stores are open 24/7 

    You can visit the stores anytime from your couch or while you commute in the metro. That’s quite practical!

    guitar_picks_online_shippings

    8 - Very easy to ship!

    Guitar picks are very small pieces of gear and they fit in a small envelope. This means, you don’t even need to be at home to get them delivered because they fit in your mailing box.

    Guitar Pick Shipment

    One of the best advantages of such small products is that they are very adequate for surprising your friends. Imagine you come home after a long day, you open the mailbox and find a strange letter on it containing a couple of cool guitar picks. That probably feels very good! This is one of the reasons we created the gift boxes.

    Guitar Pick Gift Box

    9 - New Guitar Gear for the Price of a Starbucks Coffee

    Let’s admit it, sometimes we - guitarists - just want to shop a little bit and have a couple of new experiences trying new gear.

    If you feel like this and don’t feel like spending much money, guitar picks are a very good option. Guitar picks are the loudest amplifier in our hands and will have a direct influence on the tone our guitars produce! Therefore, why not try lots of them and use them for different purposes?

    In our article Guitar Picks for Beginners we talked about the importance of having at least 3 favorite guitar picks. Let’s go find them!
