Chords can be played more softer using thin pick. While playing lead and chords Upstrokes and downstrokes becomes much more easier because of its flexibility.

Guitar picks are personal preference.like the size of the pen you use for writing.I personally prefer jazz3 picks.It is difficult to play at high speeds with a thin pick.but go with whatever works best for you .

Guitar picks are a personal preference. There is no such advantage of a thin or thick one. It's all trial and error and what works best for you. I personally prefer 0.80- 1mm
