For flatpicking my acoustics, I like a Dunlop 1.0 or similar nylon pick with lots of grip. For fingerpicking, I prefer the Pro-Pik brass 1-ANG, and for the thumb a plastic wraparound type with a skinny blade (about 1/8" wide). Zookie also makes an excellent thumbpick if you prefer a heavier one.
I prefer the brass fingerpicks over the steel, they sound better on my strings, I always play D'Addario phosphor bronze mediums on my Guilds (ever since they quit making Nashville Straights - anyone remember those? They came in a long flat box, their claim to fame is that they were never coiled...)
Does anyone here play bottleneck slide on their acoustic? What works best for you?
