I started using these little picks on mandolin when I was a teenager, so naturally I started using them on electric guitar at the same time. They are the best. it's like having just that much more control over playing with your bare fingers, the tip is small and accurate, the size and thickness perfect for fast picking or even strumming. I use the Heavy gauge, the sound is clear and round, not like the click of a thin pick. They sound noticeably better when recording.
