About Guitar Picks


Yes, that's right: we carry a great variety of guitar picks in terms of shape, thickness, and material they're made out of. At Sweetwater we make it easy to find extra thin, thin, medium, heavy, and extra heavy guitar picks. But how can you choose the ones that best fit your needs? Well, it really depends on how you're planning to use them.


Guitar picks come in many styles to suit virtually any application or technique that a guitarist may encounter. If the songs you play involve a lot of strumming it would be better to choose an extra thin or thin guitar pick. Their advantage lies in their flexibility. With a thinner guitar pick, you don't have to worry much about the way of balancing the pick between your fingers (as is the case with heavy and extra heavy picks). This makes thin and extra thin guitar picks an awesome choice for guitar beginners as well. If you're not a huge fan of the strumming sound generated by thin picks, try a medium guage and see how it feels.


For hard rock or metal guitarists, you may reach for a heavy or extra heavy guitar pick. They're ideal for rock guitarists because they can withstand the tension of the strings, giving you the opportunity to play individual chords or notes at a much faster pace. Plus, with heavier picks you can more easily change the sound dynamics than you can with lighter guitar picks. Heavy and extra heavy picks are perfect for transitioning from palm muted djents to riffing power chords. The material of your guitar picks can also impact your sound. From steel to acrylic, try a few to figure out which pick helps you sound just right. Sweetwater makes it easy and convenient to try all types of guitar picks - just grab a variety pack and see for yourself!


Choose from standard, triangle, sharp, and teardrop guitar picks. Standard guitar picks are the most common, as their rounded peak and generous surface area allow for a variety of grip styles. Triangle picks have a large grip area with a rounded peak, making them great for strumming. Sharp guitar picks can be larger or smaller, depending on the model. They're known for their powerful impact on the strings and ability to emphasize high frequencies. Teardrop picks are small with a rounded peak, giving you a good grip. We also carry finger guitar picks and thumb guitar picks. If you still have questions, our Sales Engineers will take the time to get to know the music you make and help you choose the guitar picks you need.
