Since I began playing guitar I didn't think that picks were that important.  Good guitar, good amp, and any pick you can find is great.  I was incorrect.  Having cheap picks break on me all the time was getting frustrating, and I wanted to find something that lasted.  Finally after trying out some picks at the guitar store I finally found it.  Dunlop Tortex .60mm picks.  Perfect for everything I could ever want or need in a pick.  Never ever  will I use ANY other brand of picks again.
