About Thin Guitar Picks

Thin Guitar Picks are the choice of a host of players on electric guitar and acoustic guitar, who value the gentle attack and low emphasis on bass notes that these picks provide. Light gauge guitar picks are available in a range of different thicknesses, and while most players use these picks for their light sound in genres like surf music, or anything with a lot of acoustic strumming and rhythm playing, they're also popular with some lead guitarists like Paul Gilbert and Omar Rodriguez-Lopez.
