What type of guitar pick (plectrum) is best for me?

They come in all shapes,sizes,thickness,materials and colors...You can collect them for show and tell,you can wear them as a necklace(I have seen many of these on Ebay).You can have your name printed on them to impress your friends and fans.Many,many,different options.But when it comes right down to it,which one works best for you? Like most guitarists,I have a large collection of picks that I have collected through the years.(a guitar player can never have too many)Most are kept in a big wooden salad bowl where I practice,waiting for their chance to be picked up.Some,find their way to the laundry room in an attempt to escape by means of my jeans pocket.One of the least expensive products you can purchase at your local music store without feeling guilty about the cost! For me,I prefer the standard triangular "medium" thickness pick.I usually turn the pick around and play with the rounded side as opposed to the pointed tip.The seasoned guitar picker usually knows exactly what type pick he wants,but if your a beginner,I recommend experimenting with several different thicknesses till you find what works best for you.Get yourself a salad bowl....
