Lost Picks & Found Tone: The Two Best Picks for Worship Guitar!
Lately, Gravity Picks have been blowing up in the guitar world. They’re a U.S.-based company that makes only handmade picks. And among their lineup, the Gold Series (link) is on another level. Seriously, this pick is insanely good.
So, what makes it so special?
✔ It lasts forever – Hardly wears down.
✔ It won’t slip – No more dropping your pick mid-solo.
✔ Amazing tone – Clear, rich, and dynamic.
It’s made from a super tough material and is pretty thick, so you get a warm, soft tone when you play lightly. But when you dig in? Boom! It drives like crazy.
But What About a Cheap Nylon Pick?
Now, a $5 nylon pick? Totally different vibe. It’s so thin that it’s kinda hard to control dynamics. But guess what? It’s still my second favorite pick!
For high-gain rock and metal, when you’re already drowning in distortion, the difference in attack doesn’t matter as much—so a nylon pick works great. Plus, no matter how hard you strum, you’re not snapping any strings. And for fast 16th-note tremolo picking, a lightweight pick is a game-changer.
My Go-To Picks Right Now
These two are my absolute favorites. But losing an expensive pick? That hurts. And let’s be real—picks have a way of vanishing into thin air. Anyone else? Mine always show up in the washing machine after a full cycle. Every. Single. Time.
But finally, I found the perfect fix—this leather pick case!
Just keep it on you at all times. It’s made from high-quality leather, totally handmade, and pairs perfectly with fancy picks. Plus, the button closure keeps your picks secure, so no more accidental pick disappearances.
At the end of the day, a pick is more than just a piece of plastic—it’s an extension of your fingers, your playing, and your sound. Once I started paying attention to my picks, my tone changed big time.
