D'Andrea Brain Nylon Guitar Picks 12 Pack with Tin Box (Purple, 0.60mm)

Picks are hit or miss, you have to find the ones that work for you. These are very grippy and the material just seems to glide lovely against the strings. The .60mm is perfect for certain types of acoustic strumming. I have 4 different thicknesses of these picks for different applications. They seems to hold up well over time keeping their glossing surface and shape.

Never lose one again lol 😆

I was looking for decent thin picks that do not disintegrate when playing rhythm on the acoustic and do not slip out of your fingers. These picks are ideal.

I've used these picks for years, everyone I lend one to never gives it back!!

Similar to the Dunlop but better grip

Brilliant. I have been gigging with these for over 10 years and would not use anything else.

Haven't come across a better plectrum than this. For strumming, brilliant!

Best picks I’ve ever used for acoustic playing.

I have no idea how I came across this pick, but over the years, it has become my all-time favorite (0.60mm brain pick in purple). Which is why I was pleasantly surprised to find it on Amazon, and instantly ordered 2 boxes - one in 0.60mm and one in 0.73mm.The day it arrived, I opened the boxes with excitement. Weird. The 0.60mm felt filmsier than mine, and the quality control was bad. If you look at the photo, you'll notice that the edges are not finished properly - it's as if the finished product was just taken out of the plastic mould without any further processing. My old brain pick looks and feels so much better even though it has seen a few years of playing. Not only that, the new picks do not sit flat on a surface - characteristic of poor quality. My old pick still does! It's amazing.The trademark dots for friction also feel terrible on the new ones. On my old brain pick, the dots feel subtle but extremely effective.Both boxes had the same issues, so it is not a batch problem. The 0.73mm pick was closer to my old 0.60mm pick in thickness, so I recommend you get that at least if you are playing the acoustic guitar. But these picks are no longer the same... just feels like cheap plastic now.Until Snarling Dogs improve their quality control and goes back to the old days, my old purple pick will remain a special pick to me. If anyone knows where I can get the old brain picks, please let me know!!!

Been playing guitar for over 40 years and this is my all time favorite guitar pick. (Brand....I buy 3 different thicknesses from the same brand). These are hard to drop as there are grip nubs on both sides and they really help the pick for 'staying put'. I play purple for acoustic and the black for electric. (green for recording occasionally but green is great for teaching strumming technique for people that have a hard time strumming the strings smoothly, or attack the strings too hard.Update: Wow! I am really disappointed in the new Snarling Dogs .60 (purple) The pick feels thinner (like the green pick gage) and the edges of the plastic looks like it just came out of a plastic jig, all jagged. The quality and feel has gone to hell. Looks like I'll be looking for another brand. After all these years my search resumes.

At one point in time this was the greatest pick I've ever owned. I loved these so much. The grip and wear of these picks were unrivaled. They were incredibly durable, and if you weren't prone to losing picks, one tin of these could last you years. My guess is that was also it's downfall, because from a business perspective putting out an inexpensive product that rarely needs to be replaced makes it a bit tougher to move product.Don't get me wrong, these picks aren't terrible. The grip is still probably the best out there. But the material they're making the picks out of these days is flimsier and the picks wear down a lot faster. I kind of feel like I need to go up a size to get the desired flimsiness of the old Brain picks I loved so much.Moving forward I think I'm going to stick with Dunlop Gators. Very consistent, good wear, and while not as good as the Snarling Dogs grip wise, it's close enough.

I got a couple of these from a friend for experimenting with on my tenor and now it's the only one I use. Perfect for ITM playing on tenor. Easy to grip and floppy enough to hit all those triplets. Super cool/fun tin with the rabid dog cartoon and if I lose a few, the tin will always provide me more. Yay.

When I joined punk band a couple years ago on bass, I hadn’t used to pick on bass guitar very much before. Only here in there. But this band played hard and fast and I needed the perfect pick. Took me a few weeks to test several and I landed on this thickness of nylon. But I was really uninspired by the normal gray nylon picks, so these are the winners. #Purple I don’t use them for guitar as much because I like something a little thicker, but I have started using them a little more for guitar, too.
