I use D'Addario XL's (9's) for strings and I use a 2.0mm purple stubby (small) pick, they are great for picking but take a while to get used to.

I also use Ernie Ball Super Slinky's...

I have no idea if this is the best setup for me, but it feels comfortable, so...

Could the pick be the problem that we both have.... (having a hard time to play the guitar like we like to play the guitar....) ?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That must be the problem, I quite agree. It's defeinitely the fault of the plectrum, what else could it possibly be ? *AHEM*
