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.

Learn to play the Guitar quicker and easier than most beginners

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

Is music theory necessary to master guitar playing?
You don't need music theory to play music. Think about it: whenever you sing, tap or beatbox along to a song, you're doing just that: you're making music without knowing or thinking about music theory. That makes music different from many
