It really comes down to your personal preference when using a textured guitar pick. Most of the people tend to like having the extra gripped that comes with the help of a textured pick, but as plenty of guitarists who just want a nice, even surface to hold on to and would rather use their teeth then play with a textured pick. When it comes to the nylon picks, moreover, these are usually going to come with a textured surface since the nylon tends to be pretty slippery and no wants their pick flying out into the audience mid solo.
Some of the guitarist’s players like The Edge, have been known to use the textured picks, but flip them around so that the textured side is actually helping to pluck the strings. He used this technique a lot in this career, since all you were wondering how he got the extra crispiness on “Where the Streets Have No Names.”
The most important thing to keep in mind when choosing the perfect pick for you is to keep experimenting until you find something you like. There are no right or wrong answers! Find out what works best for you, and buy a boatload of ’em, because we all know that guitar picks disappear way easier than they should.
