Best Guitar Pick for Beginners

What’s the best guitar pick for beginners? What picks are better suited for electric guitar versus the acoustic guitar?

When it comes to guitar picks, it really comes down to a matter of preference and I highly recommend you try many before you decide on the one that works best for your. There are my general recommends about guitar picks for beginners, acoustic guitars and electric guitars.

  • Beginners: Light Picks 0.50mm-.60mm in thickness
  • Acoustic Guitar: Light to Medium Picks 0.60mm-0.88mm in thickness
  • Electric Guitar: Medium to Thick Picks 0.88mm-1.14mm in thickness

Again this is all preference. In the video below, I make some recommendation about pick packs you might want to consider as well as show you some other alternatives to picks like Jazz III picks, Max Grip picks and what my personal favorites are. Check out the video below for more detailed information.
