Picking out the perfect plectrum can be an arduous quest. To offer you a little guidance, we'll tell you all about the various types of plectrums (or picks) available and what you can use them for.

Get Your Guitar, Bass or Ukulele Plectrums at Bax Music

There's an extensive history behind the plectrum. According to the legend, the first plectrum was invented in the sixth century by Greek poetess, Sappho. Following centuries of iterative development, plectrums are now available in all shapes, sizes and materials. In addition to 'normal' plectrums, there are also finger-plectrums and thumb-plectrums, which you can read more about in our Plectrum Buyer's Guide.

Plectrum Thickness: Thin, Medium and Heavy

Sadly, the thickness ratings that the various plectrum-manufacturers slap on their picks aren't exactly consistent. The definition of terms like 'thin', 'medium' and 'heavy' differs per brand so you can only know what to expect by checking the thickness in millimetres. Thinner picks are obviously more flexible than thicker picks, which makes thin plectrums perfect for strumming chords while fatter picks are better for more intense, fast-paced or technically-challenging guitar parts.

Popular Plectrum Brands: Dunlop, Fender and Dugain

Bax Music stocks plectrums from countless brands, so let's highlight three of the most popular pick-makers. First up, Dunlop offer a wide range of plectrums, and their Delrin and Tortex picks are hugely popular. You certainly can't go wrong with any iconic Fender plectrum either, but if you're looking for something more exclusive or a plectrum with a more unique sound, there's always our collection of Dugain plectrums. Their top-shelf plectrums are made of premium, special materials such as silver and gold as well as exotic woods.

'Punching' Your Own Plectrum Into a Custom Shape

Not every guitarist wants to settle for a 'factory' pick. Luckily, it's really easy to make your own personalised plectrum using a Punch-a-Pick. It's also a solid choice if you're looking for a special plectrum to hang from a necklace.

Always Keep a Plectrum Handy Using a Plectrum Holder

Since picks tend to go missing, a plectrum holder is another great solution. From small, key-ring-compatible pick-boxes to plectrum clips that gigging musicians can secure to something like a microphone stand, there are countless ever-useful options when it comes to plectrum management so you can avoid losing your picks.

Frequently Asked Questions About Plectrums

How do you hold a plectrum?

Plectrums are held between the thumb and index finger. Read our Learning to Play With a Plectrum blog to see how it's done. Spoiler: it's really easy!

What kind of plectrum should I use?

If you're just starting out as a musician, pay attention to the thickness. Thinner picks are great for strumming techniques, while thicker (heavier) picks are
