I've been playing for a long, long time, there really is no way to know how many different picks I've tried. A lot. I've found quite a few here and there that I've liked for short periods of time, but I almost always end up going to back to the heavier (like blue and purple) regular Tortex picks. I like the feel of the those picks, my only complaint really is that I'm pretty hard on a pick (mostly from practicing scales); I tend to wear the edges and tip down pretty fast, but I can never bring myself to just throw them out. I always seem to have piles of useless picks!
