What types of guitar picks do you use? (lemm.ee)

I have been playing (just for fun) for about 15 years. During which I have tried countless different types of guitar picks.

Recently I’m gravitating towards really thick picks, like the well-known Jazz III or Big Stubby 3.0mm. I’ve noticed I can play fast alternate picking and triplets much easier with these.

What types of picks do you use, and why?

I love the star picks. Usually a medium weight depending on what I'm trying to play. I'm just a simple at home noodler and I primarily play bass and finger pick. Most of the time I play my guitar finger style, but I use a pick sometimes depending on the style I'm trying to get at.
