Dunlop Tortex Standard Guitar Picks 0.60mm

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).

He uses Dunlop Tortex .60 gauge picks, and that's important because he has such a light touch with his right hand. His fretting hand is very strong, but he makes it look effortless and does a lot of sweep picking and economy picking when he's playing. That's a lot of his tone right there. From tdpri forum

Dunlop Tortex Standard Guitar Picks 0.60mm

Since 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.
