I started learning to play guitar a few months ago and had mostly been using Fender medium picks. I wanted to start trying different options after about 500 hours practice. Im glad that I did because like all guitar players eventually you start experimenting with different picks. In the beginning I was just happy to keep the pick in my fingers and not fly out of my hand but now at almost 600 hours I'm seeing the advantages of trying different types of picks. Its worth trying but in the beginning I don't think it matters much because you haven't developed enough skills to be able to see a difference. But once you get the fundamentals down you can appreciate the difference between the assorted picks this selection offers.
