@BarbaraM, just my opinion here. I don’t think the sound you are mentioning is a result of a hard or soft pick. It is too much pick material touching the strings. Try to only have 1/8 to 1/4 inch of the tip of the pick exposed when playing. The pick isn’t meant to “slap” the strings per se, and if too much of the pick is exposed, this is what will happen. It does take some getting used to, and you will probably touch the strings with your thumb or fingers in the beginning. Also, I don’t use any other pick other than a Blue Chip pick. For me, there was no turning back, and other picks just don’t measure up.
