Guitar picks rule! Especially fat ones

I'm pretty much into my Yamaha EZ MIDI guitars these days, I have an assortment of fat picks.
I just used a Planet Waves Insert pick, a rubber pick shell literally stuffed with 3 regular sized picks.
Also a 5mm(fat!!)V-Pick.
And then there's Wegen's 5 and 7 mm picks, Dunlop 3 mm Stubbies and Wedgie 3 and 5 mm rubber picks.
Behringer should make picks. 30 millimeters thick.

I'm not quite that fat with mine; I'm a Dunlop JazzIII fan myself (black, not red; there IS a difference). You're right, though- a stiff pick makes all the difference in the world

I recently bought a 2mm stubby for my bass, but I'm not real comfortable with it yet, after a bunch of years of 1mm standard black dunlops...

Dunlop Jazz for guitar and bass is what I use. I also use Herco Heavy on the bass sometime.

Big Stubbies FOREVER!
I don't use anything else for acoustic and I also use normal stubbies for electric. Sometimes the Jazz (red!) pick if I need that sound.
I don't understand why companies even make thin ones.

I use a variety of picks that I have lying around, various shapes and sizes, some of which I've had for 20 years. Then again, I'm not exactly Uli Jon Roth
P.S. How many years should one go before its time to change the strings?

No, that wasn't me.

Picks are for girls
I used to use coins or if I was in a soft mood a big fat pink Bass pick.
