Jim Dunlop Nylon Guitar Picks, 0.38 mm, Pack of 12 White

...these are the ideal picks for you. Light, extremely flexible and with a textured finger grip section, I have gone through quite a few sets of strings over the years as I tend to play the guitar quite hard, acoustic and electric. If you are a heavy strummer and really punish your strings, these picks will give you a little 'get out of jail' card - although I haven't tested it, I'm not convinced that it would be possible to break strings with these. So what you get are very fine, lightweight picks, the most flexible I've ever used.The potential downside to these - not in my mind, but something to be aware of - is they picks can give a papery, thin sound on acoustics - mine is electro-acoustic so not a problem, but it is something to be aware of. I sometimes turn them around so I play with the textured section on the strings, as it can give more bite to the sound if playing un-amplified. If you really want a fuller sound, acoustically, you would probably be better off with a heavier gauge, but if you want to be able to thrash around without compunction, these are for you.

Just the ticket

Most ukulele picks are felt, rubber, leather and various other materials. Some like them some don't.I have tried most types and these are the ones that I revert to. The other types of pick give a more gentle softer strumming sound with less edge to it. These can sound harsh if played too heavily in a quiet environment, but are quite easy to control as use of the different corners varies the sound.They are very flexible so by using your technique to angle for softness, or curve the pick between the fingers really varies the tone and volume to suit quite noisy environments when attack is needed to cut through to the audience. The edges do wear quite soon when used aggressively.Recommended, but carry plenty of spares as they can just seem to disappear when dropped !

I've had these picks before and found them good to use, so I ordered some more. How do I lose so many? They are thin and flexible, they are comfortable to hold and produce a bright sound. If you want a softer tone, then a leather or felt pick might be more your cup of tea, but I do like these versatile little picks and will no doubt be ordered again.

Can't emphasise the important of having the right pick to play. Definitely good value for money. Even shared some of them with one of my students. Brilliant quality. Will buy again.

Ideal for us beginers, plenty of flex

I’m a new player and I’ve found these too thin for me but doesn’t mean they aren’t for you

I find some of the reviews miss the point, so can I just say it's important to choose the thickness of a pick according to the way you intend to use it - it's pointless choosing a very thin pick, as these are, if you want to play lead passages on single strings - you need a heavy pick for that.These picks are only any use for strumming, and as a guitar teacher I give them to all beginners, who often find them a revelation - for beginners, trying to strum with a heavy (thick) pick often results in the pick catching in the strings, and in order to avoid this they tense their arm muscles, with the result they can't keep a good bold rhythm, but a .38 pick, especially a flexible one like this, really sets them free - try it!It does produce a thinner more trebly sound, but once you improve, or If you want to play lead, you can use a heavier pick - personally I use the .46mm picks a lot - they're a good compromise if it's mostly strumming with a small amount of picking - or the .60mm if it's mostly picking with a little strumming.Some people prefer .80mm to 1.00mm for general use, so buy a few and experiment, and find what suits you - you can even get a selection pack with all 6 main sizes - and don't blame the picks if you've ordered an inappropriate size!
