Those are the ones i use. I was a .60mm Orange Guy for 28 years & then a .73mm yellow tortex user for about a year & then switched to the .88 & haven't looked back. it's funny because my first guitar came with Green Tortex picks & my Guitar teacher said they were too heavy for a Beginner & he gave me a Medium Triangle Gibson Pick & i used that for the 1st year i was playing.
In the 70's it was whatever was in the house including plastic bread ties. Music supplies for me as a youngster was way scarce.
In 1982 a roomate in a different band than mine had tons of wafer thin picks. I looked up to him and he was a fast but sloppy player. I thought surely he cant be wrong so i use the wafers but note for note accuracy was thrown out the window.
Then another player i knew turned me onto a green Tortex [.88mm] and i found God. Used the purple ones too and Fender heavy picks.
Over the years ive gone heavier & heavier as my hand strength increased.
In the 80's i use stainless steel & copper picks but they eat the outer wrap on the "D" string but killer riffs & p. scrapes.
Used Gator Grips for a while. The Petrucci flows are where i live. Love the points on those and they last forever.
