In this photo of John Frusciante singing into the mic, his Dunlop Tortex 0.60mm guitar pick can be seen in the microphone stand pick holder. This is a shot from the recorded Red Hot Chili Peppers performance *Live at Slane Castle* (recorded August 23, 2003 at Slane Castle grounds). The 5th track into this performance has Frusciante [performing a solo cover of the song "Maybe"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0jm4snDOkk) by The Chantels. As he is singing, the camera slowly zooms into his side, and the picks wedged in the mic stand pick holder come into view (around 1:15 into the song). Judging by their distinctive color and layout of the graphics on the pick, they can be identified as the .60mm versions of the Dunlop Tortex. He has several of these wedged in the holder, meaning he uses them throughout the performance. The DVD of the entire Red Hot Chili Peppers - Live at Slane Castle performance can be found [on Amazon](http://www.amazon.com/Red-Hot-Chili-Peppers-Castle/dp/B0000DZEE3).

moreHe uses Dunlop Tortex .60 gauge picks, and that's important because he has such a light touch with his right hand.

moreSince 2006 Luke Weiler of Positive Mental Trip has only used Dunlop Tortex 0.60mm picks as his go to. There are times when he has used the Dunlop 44 P 73 and 88 nylon standard picks with the grip when only playing lead guitar or on a song for just the lead guitar parts. However when luke is playing live and when he has the choice he prefers the Tortex orange 0.60 mm as he enjoys playing rhythm with them and breaking less strings. He also loves how they are just thick enough pretty much perfect thickness to get energetic for 8 hours at a time playing rhythm and lead guitar and not break strings. When jumping up and down during shows he found he was breaking more strings with the grey grip 88 and 73 nylon picks. Still whatever he goes with for any specific reason it is always Dunlop. And 95 % of the tortex Standard 0.60mm.
moreNo other size but the 0.6mm Dunlop pick actually appears. These picks will vanish, then appear inthe oddest places. When I started playing, they kind of just appeared on my desk, and now I just find them in strange places. Luckily, I have an Altoid tin to keep'em safe, now.
OK, I've used these picks for a long time, but I've used plenty of others. The 0.5, I just got, and so far, they might beat the 0.6. I've also tried those Snarling Dog Brain picks, but that grip is awkward. I find that my picks move a lot on my finger, and I like it. But otherwise, these Dunlop picks have been the absolute standard for myself. 0.6mm is a somewhat good balance between thin and thick, but my preference seems to be leaning towards a lighter size. I give it four stars because there are better picks, and as of now, I can't say they are the best until I've tried much more.
Not much to say really as it is only a guitar pick! It is in between being soft and hard making it a great all rounder!
This guitar pick has been my perfect choice.
i have used these for years ...
.
My first picks, and picks that I use to this day. Absolute grip and good both for strumming and playing solos. Best picks Dunlop has ever made for any kind of rock and other genres except metal.
It's my favorite type of guitar picks. Actually it's universal model to playing
Great feel and touch on the instrument, what's there to say?!
only downside is that logo rubs off after a while.
Not too hard, not too soft. Works great for electric. Whether you are strumming or picking, the pick is responsive.
flexible but sturdy and easy to spot
My favourite pick, comfortable to hold, good for strumming and picking would recommend to anyone.
i bought this yesterday (dec 8 2018) its cool not bad
WHY does a pick even matter so much? but Jesus, everybody, these are perf.
great picks they sit just between light and heavy
it's a pick that you just keep looking for when you want to play your favourite song.
very flexible, and feels and sounds great!
I really like these picks for acoustic guitars. They aren't too thick for a harsh attack, and not too thin and flimsy in the hand.
I just stole it from my friends guitars pickholder, its okay i guess
this is the only pick I've used for years, the best all around
dddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd
this pick is a great inbetween for guitar players and it does not easily slip out from my fingers i use this pick for everythine except Green day or metal
Durable...long lasting...easy to hold onto...great pick scrapes on the strings.
I love this picks so much the are without a doubt the best.
I spent years playing with yellow dunlops. I transition regularly between bass and guitar and found myself breaking strings when I would switch to the guitar. I dropped down to this gauge and have since found a truly comfortable and utilitarian playing style with them. They have enough girth to give me strong attack on my guitar, but also have enough malleability to not break my strings or to let me be quick. I have found they're just thick enough to play bass with as well, although I do tend to shred them when I use them on bass. I play lots of bass chords, arpeggios, and guitar-like lines on the bass so my choice of pick has changed over the years. For the sake consistency, these picks do the job just fine, and happen to excel at various picking styles for guitar playing as well. Orange is my least favorite color, but orange dunlops are certainly my most favored pick.

Very light, perfect for funky and rhythm guitar
Either the yellow or orange depending on my mood
Firme, leve e duradoura. Com uma cor chamativa que facilita ser achada.
