> Besides, I don’t use a ton of slapback like the old-school rockabilly guys. For guitars I pretty much only used my Reverend Horton Heat signature model Gretsch 6120 strung with Dunlop .010s, and a heavy Dunlop 1.14mm pick.

Nice look, great feel

There's only so much you can say about a guitar pick, but I'm really happy with these ones. I like a stiffer pick, and these have just the right amount of flex. The pick has a subtle texture which feels nice to grip and doesn't slip. I also like the color, and I'm a fan of turtles, so that's a bonus as well. A pick is a really subjective thing to review, but any of the Tortex picks are worth trying out. I stopped using my Fender picks and use these all the time now.

Thick pick for pick tricks

With that tell tale grip surface, the big purple Tortex is ready to snap some tone into bass strings. Even with a punchy clean bass tone these picks give a crisp click to the attack. It takes a lot to bruise one, and bending them is a chore. But when you've done both, you know the crowd has gotten the best gig out of you.

The thickest pick you'll ever need. Never slips or drops.

I like to play with thick picks, most of the time. I find myself gravitating towards the blue, but sometimes I'm just in the mood to go purple. If you need to play heavy, or loud, or with high energy, consider going purple. Tortex picks are great right out of the package with that powdery coating. This "new car smell" wears away pretty quickly, but they still feel great in your hands. I never drop my picks and it's not because I ain't klutzy.

Good ones.

If you have ever watched Eddy Wally saying wow for 10 hours like me, you would spend another 10 to say wow on those. Good grip, very tough, but still they do feel very natural in hand.

These are my favourite picks

They are so comfortable to play with because they’re thick but not to thick

Classic picks

I was initially turned onto these pics after seeing Slash use them, and I've used them since. My go-to for the past 8 years.

Best picks I've ever used

Sturdy, reliable and a good feel allow myself to hit power chords at top speeds without dusting it down after one song.
