Are you using the right guitar pick/plectrum? I DID NOT!

Of course there is no 'wrong' pick, but we are about to find out how much influence a different thickness and material will have on the sound of my guitar!

It does not matter once the fall in the sound hole of an acoustic, they all shake out the same way.

This was actually a reasonable presentation of a topic that I thought would be impossible to discuss with a straight face...

I like the nylon picks because I strum very hard. I can strum as hard as I want, achieve a good tone, and not have to worry about breaking a string.

I play my electric guitars with a Tortex 1.0mm and my acoustics with either a Tortex .88mm or a Tortex 1.0mm. When I first really got into playing guitar I would use the .46 nylon because my strumming wasn't as controlled as it is now after playing for 17 years. I used the Tortex .60mm after I gained more control over my strumming. I am very happy with the Tortex 1.0mm at this time.

Agree, always loved the orange tortex as an acoustic pick, forgiving, and sweet.

Love that you played Nine Cats by Porcupine Tree as the strumming comparison example

File your tips! This is my recommendation to optimize tone and playability for guys playing technical difficult stuff. First you have to experiment, but if you know which tip angle is the best for your playing style, you can do this with every pick in 5-10 minutes. Also, tip form as a big influence on overtones / harmonics. So, if you compare pick material, you should use a similar tip form, otherwise the significance of your comparison is very restricted.

You magnificent creature, how dare you play Street Spirit, you really got me. Great video, I'm a 1.0mm and above guy myself, love the Jazz III picks as well.
