Problem Solved
I was getting a very annoying "tinny" sound from my Taylor 614ce when using a 0.6mm pick. But today, I switched to a 2.0mm Dunlop Big Stubby and I loved the sound it produced. Full balanced articulated sound when picked AND when strummed. No "muffed" sound but just clarity when strummed. I have no use for these thin picks anymore. Bye bye thin picks!

i'm really glad to see this post and people's responses. i, for one, use different picks depending upon the guitar i'm using, the part in the song i'm playing and the effect i want the pick to have upon the strings.
thanks to all! play music! mikeB.

I agree with the remainder. However, in my own case I don't believe I've ever hit the strings with the back edge. It's merely a matter of the angle as the front edge hits the first string it comes in contact with. The way my arm works, that angle would increase a bit as the pick comes into contact with each string.

The my arm works, that angle would increase a bit as the pick comes into contact with each string.[/QUOTE] I think we are saying the same thing w/ different words. The angle, relative to the strings, would increase as your hand moves down w/ the wrist or elbow acting as a hinge. I've never used the back edge of the pick either...the guitar neck would have to be pointing toward the ground for that to work. The point is that apparently Red Bear takes this angle into account if you order a pick from them. They also want to know if you are right handed or left handed, although that is a different issue from the horse we've been beating.

BC TD-50 does it all for my style. Enough has been said about the BCs that i don't need to expand that.

Well, the great thing about picks is that it is BY FAR the cheapest and easiest way to experiment with tone. Also the easiest and cheapest to switch.

"Good" thicker picks provide better attack and more tone than thin picks, strumming and flakpicking, Bluegrass is the perfect example, most players use heavier picks.
TS and Blue Chips, with a good technique, make thin picky sounds "clinky" in my personal experience, and I used .73 for decades, now nothing under 1.2. You do need to work a pick and your grip to find what is optimal for your style, lots of folks have poor form and get lots of pick noise, that is avoidable with the right pick and technique. To me, thin pick, thin/bright sound.
