Excellent review video. I like how you were consistent in the tests and did it all side by side. +1 for Monster Grips!

The best picks hands down, are V-Picks.

I liked them and used them for a long time, but found the tone was a little--- glassy?

They sell Gorilla Snot at most guitar stores , it adds little sticky to your fingers. The office supply stores sell a similar product ( much cheaper and will last you years) that if you handle a lot of paper work or money it will give you grip. I used to glue sand to the gripping portion of the pick, worked good. I also came across a pick company called "V-Pick" it uses your body heat to make it stick to your fingers. They work great! play with it and after your first song you can hold it on the one finger and it will not fall off. Lots of colors and sizes, PS: Great sounding D-18, mid 70's ??

Hi! I knew about Gorilla Snot, but kind of shy away from stuff that might leave a residue in places I don't want :) The V-picks are great picks! I used them for a couple years, but I find the sound they make to be a little "Glassy" sounding. I think they just might be a tad too hard, not sure. I had actually considered gluing sandpaper on...I actually have some adhesive backed stuff down in the shop...My only worry with that is accidentally rubbing it on my guitar or something where I could scratch it. Thanks for your suggestions! and thanks for noticing the D-18 (love of my life) guitar...It is a 1957 that has had the braces scalloped. :) I have another video that tells the story on how I got that. Thanks for stopping by!

I do! Been using them ever since and they still work great. I have actually used the original one I put on for this video, and it still is grippy enough to use...It did lose a little of the stickiness it had at first, but still perfectly usable! Money well spent.

Since the time I saw John McLaughlin on Premier Guitar, I started perform surgery in my picks just using the point of a scissor to scrape the plastic.

I was wondering if there was a way to just make the texture more pointy so it gripped the thumb better...Drilling really did work, except these particular picks seem to self destruct when I tried it LOL. I have heard of folks using rubber gromets and drilling holes to make rubber grips, but I haven't figured that one out!
